This is a towable gas powered Ground Hog post hole digger, NOT to be confused with the rodent ground hog otherwise known as a whistle pig.
We rented this device and dug (30), YES thirty, holes, each approximately 26" deep. Twenty three of the hole are for the fenced enclosure we're in the process of building for Wisteria, my nieces wild Mustang, as well as a covered run-in for her. The other six holes are for farm gates we'll be installing at our front entrances to our property -
Although, we didn't hit or have any issues with rocks, this East Tennessee red clay is an entirely different animal for sure, and equally as challenging. It might as well be rocks, as it adds a different level of frustration all together -
We used a 6" auger bit -
We had all (30) holes dug in just over three hours!
Sure beat digging our holes with an "old fashioned" handheld post hole digger that for sure but still challenging.
Here's a sneak peak at the enclosure and run-in -
Stay tuned for the finished product...
