[QUOTE="Iowa Dave, post: 27910, member: 2195"] I am in Iowa so this may not apply--but this would be what I would do here: Try carbide teeth (we use them when ground is frozen) and/or use a much bigger Bobcat. Bigger = heavier=more down pressure= more hyd gpm. 15C is a good unit. My guess is that you need a bigger machine. I dig holes up to 36" diameter. Anything less than a s205 or T190 won't cut it for me. We don't have many rocks and use standard bits here. I see you are in clay. Pretty sure you need more weight pushing down. [/QUOTE]
