[QUOTE="SkidRoe, post: 98248, member: 3290"] Unfortunately, in these kinds of conditions it is down to experimentation. More water may help lubricate the digging, but in my experience, clay generally repels water, so you would need an almost constant stream of water. Another thing that may work is painting the auger with graphite paint, so that the clay releases easily. No guarantees on this one... May even try cooking spray (Pam or similar)... I generally have a helper standing ready with a shovel when this kind of thing happens, but I agree, with an 18” auger, it can be time consuming to clear the bit. HTH - SR [/QUOTE]
