Neighbor borrowed my PHD. He called me and said the PHD wouldn't dig a hole. So I went to take a look. Removed the 12 inch augar and the head would lower all the way to the ground. His ground was so hard, like concrete. I took my little terramite, put all the weight of the front bucket on the PHD, moved it sideways while neighbor rocked the tractor back and forth. The hard pan was a good 24-30 inches. After that, it would go down on it's own. One time I had to fill the front bucket with dirt, 1/4 yard, to get enough weight push it down.

I tried digging holes with backhoe to plant a few apple trees. Lucky to get a foot deep hole.
