I plant quite a few #1 potted nursery stock each spring. Pots are roughly 6.5" x 6.5"
I have a Stihl BT45 auger/powerhead. OEM augers are 3" 4" and 5". It came with a 3" which does ok in my heavy clay.
I made a 7" auger last spring. The Stihl has no where near enough power to dig with it, plus the clutch will slip.
Looking for a recommendations on the next size bigger auger powerheads. Presently we use two hand post hole diggers, but need to move a little quicker. I have a 3 point for the big tractor, but that is overkill, and a lot of work to trailer to places.
Next size up Stihl BT121 will handle a 10" auger.
Thanks
Rick
