That’s a lot of auger; you must not have large rocks in your soil or Virginia clay to deal with, good luck.
My, what a big auger you have there! Bet you hear that a lot. 
They are far away from VA clay. Might hit a few potatoes, thoughThat’s a lot of auger; you must not have large rocks in your soil or Virginia clay to deal with, good luck.
Auger is 24”, probably should have gotten a 18, but the ‘bota powered it just fine. Soil is sand, gravel, and tree roots.
I pray you never get that sucker stuck (with no reverse option from your PTO drive), update with some hole progress.

Turns out an 18” is easier to control and takes a lot less concrete. This 3-point mixer is invaluable for setting pole-barn poles. One load of 8-10 bags sets one pole. Hydraulic top link makes dumping easy. Have to run the engine at idle to keep from spinning drum too fast though and rear remote pressure makes the controls pretty touchy.
