I own an 1845c and a bobcat MT 55 with a post hole auger. The auger faceplate won't fit on my 1845c....so i'm considering renting a auger for a bigger job with 100+ holes.
The MT 55 is more powerful than your typical dingo or other mini. Here are the specs
2011 MT 55- 12 GPM and 25 HP
1995 1845c- 16 GPM and 60 HP
So the Case has more than double the HP and about 33% more Hydraulic Flow. The MT 55 drills holes very well when the soil is sandy but when I hit bigger rocks the MT 55 doesn't have enough Hydro flow and the auger will just stop. Do you think the 1845c will be much better? Does horsepower really matter when drilling holes or is it all about hydro flow.
Thanks for the help.
