Read articles →This video follows a first-time user unboxing, assembling, and doing an initial test dig with a three-point post-hole auger on an LS MT347, not a polished how-to, but an honest beginner walkthrough that includes a PTO shaft mistake, gear oil fill procedure, and one real test hole punched through partially frozen ground. Best for owners curious what first-time setup actually looks like.
Posted by the DK Ranch Farms channel, which appears to document an owner-operator building out a rural property from scratch, with no evident commercial affiliation.
The owner used a nine-inch auger so the eight-inch sauna tube footings would slide down into the hole easily.
The auger gearbox needs 80W90 gear oil, filled up to the oil level plug on the housing.
In the test, the auger pushed through about an inch of solid frozen ground before continuing into softer soil below.
The owner called it fairly painless overall, though the PTO shaft length caused confusion and bolts near the shroud were awkward to tighten.
