I have enough work coming up to warrant an auger for our Cat304e and need to know a little more about them to decide what would be best for us. Initially I'm looking at a 12" bit for post footings but would have use in the future for larger bits to plant trees and shrubs. I'm seeing pricing all over the place from under $1000 to $5000. Can anyone give me tips on what to look for? Any brands I should stay away from? Thanks!
