    post holes 2" pipe

    I was wondering if anyone else ever put in fence posts (2" pipe) with either their loader bucket or backhoe pushing down? I need to run 350' of fence and am looking for an easy way out. I can get an auger, but it would be 18" which is kind of overkill for a 2" hole. Any suggestions...
