A post hole digger will work fine on your Ferg. Down pressure is not necessary. Sometimes in very hard dry soil you can pour water in the hole to soften. One thing to watch - as one guy said they can auger in like a corkscrew. This can happen in wet soil or if the auger gets under a root. Most people's response when this happens is to pull up on the lever to raise the three point. If it has a good bite, this will either raise the front of the tractor off the ground or bend the boom of the digger. The correct reaction is to disengage the PTO to stop the auger, then see waht is needed to get out of the hole. Sometimes it is necessary to reverse the PTO shaft with a pipe wrench when you have everything safely out of gear and stable.
