XtremepowerUS V-Type 55CC 2 Stroke Gas Post Hole Digger One Man Auger EPA Machine Plant Soil Digging Fence,red

It was easy to operate, mixed the 25:1 fuel, filled the tank, primed the bulb, set to start, turned off the kill switch, pulled a couple times, and it fired right up! So far I have experienced no issues.I wish my existing auger bit fit the smaller shaft of this auger motor. Or that there was an adapter for 7/8 bits, with this motor having a 3/4 diameter drive shaft.

Purchased through Amazon on November 10, 2022. Caught Covid and then winter was upon me. Went to use in May. Took it from the box, pulled the cord several times, and cord failed to retract. The plastic cord housing had broken and the spring sprung.When I pointed out it broke on first use, company said 30 day return window closed and that nothing was covered since I had not purchase extended warranty. No idea what the product warranty was or even if there is one.Seller said they had a replacement “pull cord assembly - cord with the casing that holds it all together.” My cost $35.95. Ordered it. Couple days later received notice of a refund, no explanation given. Replacement part no longer listed as available.Left with a post hole digger for which I can’t get the part needed to repair.

We used this auger and 4” bit to set 75 4#4 and 6 6x6 posts. The soil was sand with hard-pan layer that you find in northeast Florida. First few holes the bit did not want to cut through the hand-pan. After I pulled the protective plastic cover off the bit at the end of the auger blade it punched right through. Duh! Motor started every time. Follow the ratio mixture for the two cycle engine. Let it warm up for a couple of minutes before using. Instruction book shows how to add gear box oil, but it doesn’t match the actual gear box on the engine. Instead there are two grease fittings that you add grease to. I wasn’t sure if there was any grease on the gears so I pumped some in. No problems with the gear box. The 4” blade was just right for the 4x4’s. Very little to back fill. I used a manual post hole digger to widen the hole for the 6x6’s. I would buy this again and would recommend it to others.

This works well, used it to dig 10 3 foot deep holes with an 8 in Auger. Dug down first 2 feet very quickly and then I had to clear all dirt away from hole and out of hole to do the last foot. This is not the one I would want if you do this for a living but if you have the muscle to handle one it is worth getting for the home owner digging multiple holes.

This little powerhouse is impressive. I bought this to do a fence repair job hoping it would at least make the job go quicker. I really wasn't expecting much for the price.It starts very easily, is light weight and packs quite the power for a small machine. Seriously though for the price compared to others, I was hoping it would at least make it through the topsoil. Not only did it quickly chew through that, it took care of most of the shale rock beneath the soil.I'm very impressed with this little power house. I can hardly believe the value. Great for a home owner who occasionally needs to loosen soil.The only improvement I would have liked to see is a wider handle configuration for more leverage.

Like another review mentioned, it starts right up if you ignore the instructions that came with it… Both the manual and the stickers on the side of the machine are wrong. Runs good when you know how to start it. Pump the primer bulb 5 - 8 times, pull with the choke on about 5 quick times. Turn off the coke, pull and it’ll start in a few pulls. Note, that it will not start if the choke is on, ever, but you need those first warm up pulls.3/4 is not a standard shaft size if you are thinking of using this for ice fishing. 3/4 might be more common in the ground digging category, but the ice fishing bits out there are mostly 7/8s. There is one brand I came across that has 3/4 bits, ION. But ION is ridiculously more expensive than the other brands out there. Like, excessively so. Completely defeating the purpose of saving money on buying a budget powerhead.The ice auger bit Xtreme offers doesn’t appear to be purchasable at the time I ordered this. 404 not found Amazon dog page error clicking on its link.I paired this with my Eskimo hand auger bit, which of course also isn’t 3/4…. It’s 11/16ths. But I went to Lowes and got a 3/4” galvanized pipe, a 5/8” galvanized pipe, and some adapters to connect them together. 5/8” was close enough for the 11/16ths bit. Some drilling and bolts for pins later I’m off to the races.All in all, nice little motor… But if you’re using it for ice fishing you’re going to be doing some DIYing to make it work for you.

I ordered this unit because my old cheap china one finally gave up the ghost . We are in the process of putting up another fence line and building a barn so I needed something that could handle a 4,10,12 inch bit with no problem. This will definitely do that and then some. I’ve read some of the other reviews on here about this company sending different head units when you order this item so I was skeptical but I did receive the extreme power head unit. I will say that you think that your ready for this thing and it will surprise the heck out of you. It’s a beast and you had better hold on cos you are gonna need to. Very strong and so far great unit.

I bought this unit and It broke after 1 day. I was able to get 4-5 holes dug using an 8in auger bit and the whole head snapped off the lower unit, the casting/ Aluminum is poor quality and don’t last very long
