How To Use A Tractor Post Hole Digger! PRO TIPS

Tractor PTO Post Hole Diggers can intimidate a new tractor owner. Hooking the Post digger up to the tractor can be a challenging thing. Once it is hooked up, we hope this video helps with tricks and tips to make post digging as accurate as possible. Accuracy is not as important on an old fence on the back side of the property, but you will need accuracy in installing posts on pole barns and decorative fencing. This inexpensive tool and a good tractor are a must on the Homestead. @TYM Tractors #tymtractors

You have been a lifesaver today for me on my tym 2515. Been up at the ranch watching all your videos 😂

Finally someone digging in dry clay. Everyone else cutting like butter in soft soil.

That is the best post hole digger explanation I’ve ever seen! Thank you for the great video and tips!

Hey Tony! Just letting you know that your tips and advice on the PTO auger has helped me tremendously!
I just bought a new 3 point auger a few weeks ago and have had no previous experience using one. I couldn't wait to try it out so I drilled a few holes for a temporary tarp canopy. I did everything wrong and I almost got it stuck several times. I saw this video and watched it a couple of times then went back and drilled 12 holes for my deck support and I was able to get 12 perfect holes without any damage to me, my equipment or my RV that I am building the deck for.
Again thank you so much for what you do!

Yes, very informative. Found crucial info not seen on other vids. The drop-rate valve tip is so helpful, as well as the advice on leveling and adujsting. Well done. I feel much more confident and excited to drill 19 holes tomorrow for a round pen! Subscribing!

Awesome explanation... Very informative, and a really good job with the highlight lines showing where the auger should be in reference to where it was sitting. You and Tawnya (sorry if misspelled) always do a fantastic job. Have a great day and God Bless.

Nobody explains this better than Tony!

Great information Tony. In Florida we often used to dig the corner post holes and fill them with concrete. Then we would set the posts on a steel saddle. The kept them out of the termite infested Florida soil and kept them from rotting so fast.

Great tips, I have yet to use my auger that came with my tractor. But will revisit this video the night before I do.

That was a great instructional video. Lots of people complain about using a post hole digger. I never thought it was that bad and it’s much better than digging by hand. Even after using mine many times I still learned a few things from you. Your explanation of straightening out the auger left to right was very good. Also, I never thought of adjusting the 3 point drop rate to keep from screwing into the ground. I always just pull up occasionally but that is a pain and if you pull up too far you widen the hole front to back because of the change in angle. Screwing into the ground is a nightmare. I have only done it once and with the help of a pipe wrench and a cheater bar I got it out. Once was enough. I hope I never do it again. Thanks again for the great video and tips.

Sure beats using the old fashioned kind. Thanks for the tips Tony! 👍 As the saying goes, "Slow and steady wins the race"

[barkartist]

Haven’t dug a hole yet but many to dig. You already saved me time with the hitch drop rate adjustment.

[Ronbob]

Now I know why my auger gets stuck in the clay. Thanks so much and I am now subscribed…Ron

[jukeman]

Yep, first day trying out my new post hold digger, she screwed in. Discovered how to adjust the lift pressure. But just as important, I had the lift pin on the digger set to the bottom hole. Set that way, my little tractor didn’t have enough leverage to lift the digger property. Anyway, great teaching video Tony.

[terrymangum]

Some great tips Tony. Enjoyed this video.

[winfordnettles]

Thanks Tony! Been putting in posts all my life, never used an auger. Going to get one for my John Deere 790 soon and wanted to bone up on how to use one. Your video is very informative. Thanks again for posting!

[johnroberts]

Thanks for sharing your expertise with us. God Bless! Have a great day.

[omyajt]

I’m all set to go but thought maybe I should YouTube it. Glad I did. Thank you.

[stanleyconrad]

Very informative Chief, as many have stated. I try to wait a few hours before commenting as I learn from others experience as well. You covered it better than an other post IMO. I have one w a couple augers from a tractor buy out E of Nashville. Dangerous if you don’t know and respect it. Your safety message is more important than many realize. One of my first if not the first PTSD experiences was a young hired hand tried to clear a jam in a grain auger on our rice/soybean farm. Half the foot gone in mili seconds. Blood, panic, screaming, traumatic on every one. He lived thanks to lots of folks and God. The only thing more dangerous is mining. (well the Infantry has its moments).

Good informative video tony hope you guys are doing good. Can't wait to see the finished fence. Hope you both are doing well and staying cool with this hot weather lately
