Reader Reviews
When I purchased this auger I was a little scared that it was going to be too low horsepower to dig thru the hard dirt at my ranch. Luckily, I was wrong. I put an 8" bit on there, and it dug right thru that dirt with no problem at all. The bit did get hung up a few times, but just for a second - half of those times was when it hit a tree root, but it always kept going. The instruction manual states that the belts have to get broken in, and they may slip (this is probably what was happening). It says that the breaking period is about * 2 hours of use * and then it'll be at full power. That seems a bit extreme to me since it only took about 90 seconds for this thing to bore a 2' hole. I'd have to be using this a lot before I ever reached 2 hours of use, but luckily, even with the belts slipping a little it still did the job. The motor fired up almost instantly each time - even when it was brand new out of the box. Stopped on a dime too when the power was cut. It is a comfortable and well built device.
