Brettski,
That's a neat looking auger. Haven't used one like that but I bet it works great. I wonder if it is kind of tricky lifting back up out of the hole when down in heavy clay? Maybe it has a reverse?
You mentioned your race with Mother Nature and made me wonder if you have a need for ag. lime and if you have already applied that? I don't recall from past posts if you have the need, but if you need it and haven't applied it yet, that's another item in the race.
