A few things we have found after planting many trees with a post hole digger. First we mark, mow, and spray the area with RU, second we use a 24" auger, which gives the roots much more loose soil to grow, and third we stop the auger and lift it out with the dirt remaining on the auger. This makes it a lot easier to fill the hole with the dirt still on the auger, instead of flinging it off the auger and losing it. I realize this may not apply, as your soil looks very wet. Just what we are doing. Bob

i use the bucket to scrape off the sod then move forward to did hole keeps auger cleaner previous roundup also helps

i plant timber trees a little diferently than most i buy trees fron va or md nusery i make a raised bed with old logs so that the dirt in the raised bed will be at least 2 1/2 to 3 ft deep , preferably sandy loam i then plant the seedlings in a trench about 6 in apart and in rows 1 ft apart mulch with leaves when the trees are mostly 4-5 ft tall i dig up by removing logs and scooping up with tractor bucket. i plant in a hole dug with a post hole digger. i protect trees with a 2x4 wire cage cut 4 ft long ( with 8 ft measuring stick marked in middle) after rolling out fence and cutting with long lopers (no bending over) and wiring together in 3 places (easier to get off). i get old decking from friends and rip to 1 in wide 4-5 ft long and point one end this is woven in the cage so that the top of the stake is outside. the 4 ft height of fence is a compromise between cost and a little deer brousing -you can raise the top of the cage to 5 ft as the tree grows. after the tree is 7-8 ft tall i remove lower branches ,take cage off and put on a old 4ft ft tree tube that i have scrounged from a unsuccessful tree planting and reuse the cage. i plant in an area that occarionally floods so a tree with a tube is less likely to get washed over. i plant yellow popular,oaks , maple, walnut ,black cherry ond a few others. if you have an area that is very wet with standing water part of year try bald cypress will grow as far north as upper NY do very well in my area of north east WV deer dont brouse but do horn

Starsky and Hutch old school funk👍

Hey Josh, Can you add an extension to that or does the 3pt hitch not raise high enough? Andrew

Key Saver link doesn't work.

You probably just sold one of those Key Savers. I've broken 2 on my 4052.

Key saver? But, why? I've a 3046R, first time I bent the key with my knee the keyswitch got relocated to a more common sense location, up on the dash. There's plenty factory wiring to relocate it up. Sell a drill bit or hole saw.
