New cutting edges do wonders.

they sell a down pressure kit this is a G20/40 model kit a F-8 kit is also available
My Dad bought a new 350 utility IHC . They had a 2 point hitch and down pressure. Our neighbor had a Danauser digger on a 8N. He bought the 2 point stuff to make it fit the 350, one dry summer. But new points will make a world of difference. Don't lean on it to make it dig. My neighbor did that, had a little nylon jacket on and the draw-string wrapped the pto, jerked his arms off above the elbow. Did it so quick they didn't hardly bleed. Use loader to push it down if you have to.

Great idea, think I'll make up a setup like that.

Down pressure may help. New cutting edges, from Danuser, may help too (and Danuser is an american family owned company).
Another down pressure idea: get a second person, and a front end loader with down pressure. Let one person keep the three point in down position, and use the loader to push down. My dad and I used this method to dig I don't know how many holes, using a cheap TSC type digger...until the gears in the digger wore out. With that digger, in hard, non-irrigated Arizona fence rows was the only way we could get the thing in the ground!
We also tried to use two, two-way hydrolic cylinders on an after market Farmall M 3point...Didn't help at all.
Since then, we have gotten a hold of an old Danuser F2, made it fit our ACD15, and we don't need down pressure. It has their Serrated Edge on it.
