Day 1 farm fencing competition 2023! This one hurt!
What happens here
After encountering extremely hard ground, the competition rules are adapted to allow the use of power augers. Utilize a Stihl power auger for quicker excavation of post holes. Later, a larger, tracked ProTech Evo 220B post driver with an auger attachment is deployed to drill the remaining holes, significantly speeding up the process and demonstrating an efficient solution for difficult soil conditions.
Goal: Efficiently excavate post holes using power equipment.
