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?

Is there anything more frustrating than dropping that much coin on a tool that just fights you the whole way? I've heard this same story from a few other guys, and it seems like you're not alone with the clay soil problems. @sam_harris68 nailed it when he said that stuff just wrecks those attachments, and I'm sorry you had to learn that the hard way.

Clay soil just wrecks those things.
