How Much PTO HP is needed for an 18" Auger?

   / How Much PTO HP is needed for an 18" Auger? #31  
An 18" auger in heavy clay soil will most likely require 80-120 Hp. If you're digging footers, I'd just farm it out to someone with the equipment. They usually have a large truck like a drilling rig.
This guy has a heck of a setup. A v6 powered cub with a custom built drilling setup.

A for effort on that set up, but if I was to have a business drilling post holes, it would be with an excavator.
