I'M A GROUCH!! Post Hole Digger on John Deere 3046R

Implements & attachments35–45 hpJohn Deere 3046R

Overview

A real-world, unscripted post-hole-digger session on a 3046R across two properties, where mismatched auger sizes, rental hassles, rocks, and a loose safety shield all create genuine troubleshooting moments. The host frankly discusses the limitations of three-point-hitch diggers, no down pressure, lateral drift, no reverse, and mentions paying around $549 at Tractor Supply. Best for owners wrestling with similar real-job frustrations rather than anyone wanting a clean how-to demonstration.

An owner-operator channel focused on compact tractor projects, presented in a casual, family-friendly style rather than from a dealership or professional farming perspective.
