Hello everyone. New to the forums. I'm a deck contractor and with that you need footing holes in at 4' deep. I mainly use a skid steer to auger them in. Going forward and back several times to clear the auger bit off leaves pretty good ruts in the lawns. Im thinking of swithching over to a mini excavator as I can for the most part stay in one spot and swivel the machine off to the side to clear the bit off. My question is does a mini excavator have enough auxilliary flow to power up to 24" bit. Im thinking of getting a 35 series of some sort. I never used a excavator with a auger attachment so im not sure on how well it would do. Anyone with experience with this situation id like to hear your thoughts.
Thanks
