[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 98249, member: 82"] One other thing you could try is to put a jack under the rear of the machine to give more down force, see if the extra pressure can give it enough force to keep cutting and clearing the clay. I have done this while digging through rock, it was hard going, but without the jack, i'd still be drilling :) Is this auger new? If it's used, could it be worn enough to not be sharp and basically dig it's way down. The points should be positioned so it more or less tries to pull its self into the ground like a cork screw.
