Hi Alan;

 

You better be a big dude !!

Slick holes are not good.

Clay weighs a ton; I have it too.

Also, when I was doing post holes with a 6" auger on a 3 point hitch, the mud stick to the screw something awful.

 

If you got under 100 holes, use a shovel.

I can dig you a tree hole in 3 minutes in decent farm soil.

Over 100, rent a mini back-hoe.

Or, I have also paid kids 50 cents a hole, and give them a basket and say, when that basket fits in the hole, you're done. Man can those boys dig. I mark the spots with 7 cent flags.
