Well, first off no such thing exists.


Even in the sandy soil I have, the one-man auger is too much. Next
time I'm renting the trailer auger, or just digging the holes by hand.


Thank you all for the sobering input on my "technological approach."
My neighbors are super grumpy old folks that are around all the time
in my super quiet neighborhood. *I think I'll just settle for chipping
at the job of digging the holes with the bar, posthole digger, and
maybe that spoon shovel suggested by Joe and others. Maybe a half a
foot per day every couple of days over a couple of weeks might keep me
from overstraining my wrists. *The sight is not situated such that I
could get a mini-loader with auger attachment or a trailer mounted
power auger in there. *Thanks again.


The trailer mounted auger is only about 4' wide, and easily maneuvered
by hand.
