I bought a post hole digger attachment for my skid steer and it was a total waste

Everyone kept saying it would save so much time on big jobs, so I dropped $1,800 on one last spring. Used it on three jobs in the Charlotte area and it was a nightmare in our clay soil. It just gummed up and stalled out constantly, and I ended up going back to my two-man auger every single time. I lost a full day of labor on the first job alone trying to make it work. Sold it for half what I paid just to get it out of my shop. Has anyone else found these attachments just don't work in certain ground conditions?

Clay soil just wrecks those things.
