How to use a Post Hole Digger Auger on a Subcompact Tractor MT125

[@kennolte5801]

Excellent job of explaining the control for the lowering speed. It makes all of the difference when you have it set correctly.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you so much.

[@lisajohnson8566]

Great tips on how to use the auger. I pictured the auger screwing itself into the ground lifting the tractor up. But you make it look so easy and I'm sure it is with your advice. Thanks for another great video.

[@mattcaser6581]

Looks great Tony. Over the years, I've used post hole diggers on tractors, used two man gas engine hand held diggers, and I have dug a whole LOT of them by hand. Yep....using internal combustion is my choice !

[@Andrew_M_Ward]

Tony, I just found your channel (pure gold) thank you... I'm a city boy moved to the country, needs help - you are very kind to create this quality tractor content

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Glad you enjoy it. Check out some of our new videos.

[@johndeno562]

Very good advice with slowing down the drop rate.

[@jamesgibson3557]

This man lives for this tractor stuff. At least hes doing something he loves to do.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you. I do love working with equipment. Always something new to learn.

[@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse]

Another great video Tony! I'd like to get one of these when we start farming. Way to talk about safety too! Post hole diggers on tractors can be dangerous if not fatal! Great job buddy!

[@paulorientetheluffaranch]

Thank you so much Tony. I really appreciate the time you took to make such a great instructional video.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

That was a few years ago for sure. I forgot about that video. Thank you.

[@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm]

Great video Tony, lots of good information there! That auger sure would be handy to have around! Take care buddy!

[@ocd7036]

Thanks for making this video, very informative. Love your vids.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you my friend. I really enjoy making them. Tony.

[@RCAFpolarexpress]

[@sofakinggood5829]

Good timing, I just bought one.

[@vincemeyer7968]

Great video Tony! Lots of great information!

[@richardfittzwelllll231]

Great video thanks for sharing

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Glad to help! 👍👍

[@Madaspreppers-uk6rl]

Hi Tony thanks for the good info, I am in the process of buying a post hole digger (Australia). I have a Massey Ferguson GC 1725 25hp sub compact. I have a local dealer who has square tube steel 50 hp gearbox, heavy duty diggers rated for 25- 75 hp tractors which i can pick up today or should i stick with a medium duty like the one in this video. Thanks in advance Shane

[@mikewest9017]

Nice video!

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you again 👍

[@davidward6626]

I have a Ford 3000 diesel tractor with a Post hole digger it does a good job

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

It should. It is a nice heavy tractor.

[@timothymclaughlin6860]

Oh I gotta get me one of those! 😲

[@dalehalls5530]

should talk about not letting the digger got too far down before bringing it back due to too much weight for the tractor to bring it up! Testing what it can do by trying little bit at a time

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Good input. Thank you.

[@concutt]

Great video, thanks!! Excited to try this on my compact this summer. That’s some orange soil - where are you? Georgia?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Tennessee Red Clay! Lots of iron in it.

[@skipduld3630]

THAT IS GOOD ADVICE, HOW IS UR LS BECAUSE EVERYONE I SEE ON UTUBE THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING WRONG

[@AYouTube11]

How do you measure between the pit/hole while sitting in the tractor ? I need to dig quite a lot of holes and have equal distance between them.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Make marks on the ground.

[@wWLoganWw]

What model auger is that from Field Master?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I couldn't even tell you. My mind doesn't go back that far.

[@wWLoganWw]

@@TonysTractorAdventure Lol.. I found it. It’s the one they sell at Rural King. Your video was super helpful because all the reviews for this one and the one that tractor supply sells (County Line), they say they won’t work with a LS MT125. Thanks to you.. we know they’re full of it.

[@cjgropper]

What brand and model number is the post hole digger in this video? Thanks!

[@lukeramey93]

I’m wondering the same

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

It was from rural king.

[@chrisbird1870]

That looks like a 36” bit? I’ve been watching and reading alot prepping for first auger. I have a Yanmar 424 and it seems like a smaller implement and 36” bit is helpful on sub compact and smaller compact tractors.

[@codyfleisher5577]

Hey Tony, how does it do with limestone?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Post hole diggers and rock don't get along. It will pull out small rocks 6 or 8 inches, but true rock will kill it.

[@joer6571]

what make and model is the post hole assembly?

[@GidionApex]

Hey bud I have a 1725m massey Ferguson so what size posthole digger size an maker...danuser??

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I bought it at Rural King. Nothing special about it.

[@GidionApex]

@@TonysTractorAdventure ok thank you for information

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Sorry I can't be more helpful. I don't even know the brand any longer. The sticker came off.

[@logankrumhus2191]

What post hole attachment is this?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Logan, I bought this from Rural King about three years ago. I think they still sell it.

[@jobysmurzynski9285]

Tony - What brand and model is hooked up to that MT125?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I bought it at Rural King. I think it is speedco. I don't know the model number.

[@jobysmurzynski9285]

@@TonysTractorAdventure Thank you sir!

[@williamcampbell8840]

how do you dig a straight hole? looks like yours is hst, I have a 38 hp shuttle shift

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

This tractor is 25HP HST. We also have a 40 HP HST. They make it easier to get the hole as straight as possible.

[@rockingrogershomestead]

I wish mine went down that fast.... mine goes down 6" and just skates....

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

It sure depends on where you live. 😁

[@spiderwebb421]

I have a MT125, what's bad about the post hole attachment is you have to take the rear tire off to connect it. Bad engineering. I wish you would do a video of the install.

[@spiderwebb421]

Thanks so much Tony

[@BMGProjects]

Good video. I work for a gas pipeline company and we have many high pressure lines that run through rural areas. Call 811 before you dig

[@idtm7716]

Nice video, thanks

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you
