I've been looking at these earth augers (http://constructioncomplete.com/Catalog/Augers-Earth-Drills) because I have a fence job coming up and have less man power than i've had in the past. Can anyone recommend a good brand? I've seen Earthquake and Groundhog so far...

Where are you located? digging conditions can vary a great deal from one area to another.
How many holes do you plan to dig and how deep? I use bobcat augers and a planetary drive and it's still tough at times. Are you planning to put these augers on a two man gas head?

With no help from my friends here at construction resource, I ended up going with the Earthquake 9800B Auger (http://constructioncomplete.com/Catalog/Augers-Earth-Drills/Earthquake-Powerhead-9800B-Two-Man-Earth-Auger). Works great, but I wish I would have gotten a one man auger instead.... oh well.
