Hi all,
I have a L3901. I am sinking fence posts 5 feet deep. My rear 3 pt auger only goes down 3 feet. After doing a few and then completing the last 2 feet by hand, I'm looking for a way to reduce my work. My thought is I could raise the front end of the tractor by driving up on blocks or something and gain depth in the back. Any thoughts on how high I might go with the front? 10"? More? Any stress on equipment or operational dangers?
PS. I have been searching for a compatible auger extension for weeks, so yes, I've thought of that.
