Read articles →Stands out for its depth on technique rather than equipment overview: Tony walks through auger placement on all axes, managing the three-point hitch drop valve to avoid screwing the auger into the ground, correcting lean mid-dig by steering and rolling forward or back, gauging hole depth, and a tip on lifting dirt cleanly out of the hole. Includes a 811 utility-marking reminder and a brief safety note on PTO guards. Best for first-time or struggling auger users on compact or subcompact tractors.

Adjust the valve controlling how fast the three-point hitch drops so it lowers slowly, letting dirt auger out instead of the auger screwing into the ground.
Turn the steering wheel and back up or pull forward to pivot the auger, correcting left-right or forward-backward lean until it is straight again.
Measure from the first row of cutters, not the tip of the auger, since that marks the flat bottom of the hole.
A six by six post is actually five and a half inches, so a nine inch auger leaves only about one and a half to one and three quarters inches of play per side.
