You've got soil that is rocky. I've got rocks that are soily. Seriously, it sure does make filling holes back in a challenge without nothing but rocks sitting on top. I had to dig almost 30 holes for the county before they would approve a septic system. That was fun trying to find enough dirt to cover up the holes after I pushed all the rocks back in.
@@GodsCountry What's admirable is that I didn't kill anyone. The agent gave me a soil map and said, "Here. This color on the map is good soil, you need to dig here. This other color is bad soil, don't dig here." I tried to explain where I knew, or at least thought was the best soil which fell in under the "bad soil" area of the map but they would have none of it. Thirty holes later and they conceded that they had it backwards. DOH!

We can relate. We have land that won't support a septic system because it's to rocky. Its admirable of you to have dug 30 holes to find a good spot!

How do you know this is digging straight and level, is there some kind of indicator?
No indicator that I am aware of. It's just by eye.
Got to love them rocks they make life a little more challenging
Sometimes very challenging!
Great video
Thanks Blake!
That looks like a great machine, it seemed quiet?
Thanks! Yes it is pretty quiet.
the one near my house is very noisy
The auger or the 299D?
