Don't remember what his tractor was but I know it was ancient. He used to say it was older than he was and I think he was old when Homer was a pup! The thing sunk those holes like he was going through sand! An impressive site to see.

When he died his kids gave it away! They sold all his cows under that federal program and got pennies for what they were worth. I'd have given a lot of $$ to have one of his Jerseys. Wish we'd been living by him then. We'd moved a couple of months before that.

We've rented those 2 man augers in the past, both here and at the city
house and they are simply hard to use even on non-rocky soils. I think
the single person augers are actually easier. Around here, there is one
guy with a big JD tractor that has enough umph on his auger to drill
holes for fencing. Two others have augers, but their tractors (MF and
Mahindra) just don't have the power to drill out rocks. They do fine
down in the valley bottom , though.
