Скачать или смотреть Digging Large Post Holes in Heavy Clay with My Mini Excavator (No Auger!)

Digging post holes in heavy clay soil can be a nightmare with a regular auger. In this video I show how I use my mini excavator to dig large post holes instead of an auger, and why I like this method better in our tough clay.

Augers can bind up, get stuck, and just spin in place in heavy clay. Rather than fighting it, I grabbed my mini excavator and used the bucket to dig the post holes.

In this video from Weaver Family Farms you’ll see exactly how I do it, how clean the holes turn out, and why this has become my go-to method for fence posts in clay.

If you’re building a fence, deck, or pole barn in hard clay soil, this is a simple, real-world alternative to using an auger.
