Match the auger to the job size, soil conditions, and how many holes you need to drill.
- Ground Hog 1-Man Post Hole Auger: The best pick for occasional or solo jobs — small fence projects, mailbox installs, sign posts. Lightweight enough for one person to operate, less powerful than the 2-man.
- Ground Hog 2-Man Post Hole Auger: Step up when soil is rocky, clay-heavy, or compacted. Two people share the load, and the extra power gets through tough ground that bogs down the 1-man.
- Ground Hog Tow-Behind Auger: The right pick for long fence runs, big deck projects, or any job where you are drilling more than 15-20 holes. Attaches to a truck or tractor hitch and runs all day without operator fatigue.
Auger bit diameter is usually 6, 8, or 12 inches — match it to your post size (typically 1.5x the post diameter for setting in concrete). Call (563) 271-4732 to confirm bit availability before pickup, especially during fence season.
