Our Offgrid Oasis Needed A Hydraulic Auger. But Will Our Rocky Soil Destroy it? #goingoffgrid

This is an owner's real-world trial of a budget hydraulic post-hole auger against rocky, limestone-capped ground, not a tractor review. It covers assembly quality issues, oil fill-up, first test holes, a mishap where the shaft got bent (and fixed via cut-and-reweld), and a shear pin doing its job on a rock strike. Useful for buyers of cheap imported augers wondering how they hold up in hard soil, not for tractor specs.

Posted by the Going Off Grid channel, apparently a landowner documenting their own offgrid property work rather than a dealer or reviewer.
