Looks good. Remember, it is a post hole, not a Church. Don't need to be perfect straight unless you are putting a post the same diameter of your auger. You will get it pretty straight from the seat. Don't fret over the precise straightness of the hole. Close is good enough. Have a Great Day!
I can't help but notice you reached for something in the ground right next to the spinning corkscrew.... definitely don't want to be doing that, those kinds of complacent acts are what get people killed. other than that, your videos are getting better and I am really happy to see how well the Summit tractor is doing!
Great find, at that low price. Takes some getting used to, but you'll get a feel for it. As long as it swings freely, initial start of the digging from where it plumb-bobs itself to your target, then be ready to move back as it augers in.
Respectfully remind everyone to stay clear of the auger with the tractor running! A very close friend of mine recently lost his hand by getting it caught in a post hole auger.
I had to remove that top link keeper plate also to install my hydraulic top link on my Summit TX25. It's not really an elegant solution to begin with so taking it off was no real loss.
question - how many hours you have in your Tx25 now and still enjoying it? I have a 49 8N but think it's about time to upgrade to something safer and with a front end loader. Really been looking at these lately
Just saw a video on that tractor size! Actually, it's the same brand! Anyhow, small compacts may have a design issue with ground engagement equipment hift range. Utility or the upper range of compact tractor models are more suitable. I'm not saying the smaller will not do it. It may be more challenging!
Beats the heck out of digging by hand!!

That was a great deal. 👍

$75 is a steal, it may not be “pretty” but it’s beautiful compared to a shovel. Thanks for the video
Definitely worth the 75.00 great find!

They should make a lever back there just for using the rear implements!!??
Hey Brian - what’s the square controller on your right fender handle?
The top bar on the digger is bent more than it should be.
I think the previous owner had cut the pto shaft too short, and heated and bent the top pipe/bar to make it connect.
@@powrguy1696 that explains why it wouldn't lift correctly and your other issues!
