How to Use a Post Hole Digger / Auger with Compact Tractor

A practical homesteader walkthrough focused on technique rather than gear specs: how to attach an auger (no top link), why to dig oversized holes for post alignment, how to steer the tractor to keep the hole plumb, and how to pack posts after. Covers real-world complications like roots, stuck PTO shafts, and worn bits. Best for first-time auger users planning a fencing project.
