Glad too see someone else lives on a rock pile too. The local rental shop has them and the boys working there will drop them off at the renter's place for free just to watch the poor SOBs wrestle the machines trying to dig a post hole....
Rock pile it is but I am thankful that it isn't a solid rock layer. Kinda the same for about 4 ft then you get to solid limestone. I can only effectively hand dig with a sharp shooter in this stuff. When running an auger you better be expecting a twist or you sure are gonna be surprised! Thanks 902 Hand!
Looks like it’s definitely paid for it’s self I seen a video of one of those post hole digger’s dragging a guy around and around he finally let go 😂 have a great day
That would be a bad deal! I can imagine thinking "I can get this under control, I have to get this under control (buddies are watching) I cannot get this under control, when do I let go? Hahahah. Thank you!
Many of these kinds of machines have no brand on them. There are numerous ones for sale that are identical with different branding and colors. Looking at the pictures you can determine what ones are the same. It was listed like this 52CC Gas Powered Earth Auger Post Hole Digger Borer Fence Ground +3... Currently, the HF one is a good price but only comes with one auger. Thanks for watching!
So, here is my understanding. The burned surface will not rot as easily because mold and fungus wont grow on the charred material. I have actually done my deck this way with all saw milled short leaf pine from my property. My wife and I cut the trees, milled the logs, burned and used that green treatment on it for extra measure and built the entire frame out of it. Supposedly, all we have to do is apply an oil coat every 5-10 years and the wood should be preserved well. So, burning this post I think will help to last longer not indefinitely. It was green wood so I dont know what it is really going to do in the long run. Hope that is clearer than mud. Maybe someone can chime in.
Have you heard of shou sugi ban? If not, check out the Japanese technique of burning cedar. @mrchickadee has lots of videos. He uses the technique often. He is extremely talented and if you have never seen him, he is worth watching to relax. True craftsman
Hello. Excellent video. I purchased the same auger over a year ago but never got around to the project. I am now attacking the project and opened the auger package. Only to find no instructions. Lol Did you have the same issue? If so...how did you proceed? Thank you.
I honestly could not tell you if the manual came with the unit because I nearly never reference them. More than likely it calls for 25:1. I dont run that. I run everything at 40:1. I have been very happy with the unit but please do understand, this is a very physically demanding task. If you have any specific questions, let me know! Thanks for watching!
@oakiewoodsman ok. Mine came completely disassembled. Handles...gas lines....tanks ect. I guess I cam figure it out if I had a photo if it assembled. They didn't even include that.
We still continue to use this auger in a recent video here: STOP Storage Fees! SAVE THOUSANDS by Building

Good work
Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. Much appreciated!
Thanks a lot for the video
You are very welcome! Appreciate you watching and commenting.
That will throw my back out
You know, it is very rough on the body but I find that my back doesn't get the action. Mostly my arms and it gets old in a hurry for sure.

Mine is spitting fuel out of the little hole in the fuel tank cap when running and is that normal
Good vid - ty sir
you are very welcome! some of the cheap import stuff has been VERY good while others have been less than stellar.
No brand name for this particular auger in the description or the title?

Try Vevor brand. It looks the same as the one in the video. I got mine on Amazon for $170-ish, 2024-10
Why does burning the post preserve it from rotting?

I bet Georgia red clay would put it to the test.
I have never tried to auger in clay before. Can it be done?
@@oakiewoodsman yeah but it will work you
I bet
these work great in clay on the west coast
@@jordan879thank you.

@@oakiewoodsman I just need to know how to assemble it.
all I did was put the auger on the machine with the included pin and clip and off she went!
@oakiewoodsman ok. Mine came completely disassembled. Handles...gas lines....tanks ect. I guess I cam figure it out if I had a photo if it assembled. They didn't even include that.
Wow! Mine was not like that. Almost like you got a repair kit like are sold for the saws. Did not know they were sold like that!
What ratio oil & gas mix?
I use 40:1 echo red armor in everything! No matter what it calls for.
HOW ABOUT HEARING AND EYE PROTECTION!!!!
