2650, post hole auger, 16" bit

[eipo]

Will the tractor handle it? I have to set 14" cookies 48" deep.

I think it's wishful thinking unless your digging in jello! But if you're persistent and determined you might take a couple hours per hole and a bag of sheer pins and end up with what you need.

What is the general guideline on bit size for horsepower?

Cookies? I'm guessing they're not chocolate chip.

Pre made footings for a pole building.

Eipo have a look at the pics in my album from my polebarn build, shows the kind of "cookies" they used, on the one hand I think less than 14" on the other hand the tractor and auger they used probably bigger than our tractors, I kind of think I remember it being 40hp, but not sure.

I'd make a "deal" with a local utility contractor and his auger for setting power poles. Chances are he'd get the job done in less than an hour.

I run a 12" auger on my BX all the time. Drilled over 100 hole with it last year and in Indiana clay to boot. I can only get about 34" depth max though , because if I use any longer adapter on the auger, the tractor can't raise it high enough to clear the ground.
