The auger drive does not stall (at least not often, I have been able to get it to stall occasionally). The main problem is that once the bottom 6in-1ft (or so) of the bit is clogged with clay, the bit just spins and will not dig in/down any further. This happens even with the front wheels off the ground /full downforce on the auger, engine revved up, and full flow to the attachment. It definitely won't self clear, pulling the bit out of the hole and spinning it fast forward/reverse does nothing to clear off the stuck clay. Wet or dry doesn't seem to make a difference, although have been trying mostly with dry holes. The stuck clay is also fairly hard to knock out of the bit with a shovel, wet or dry. thanks again</p></blockquote><p></p>
