I couldn’t find any information on this setup when ordering my tractor package. I could only find the Messicks video showing a B2650 (higher hydraulic flow than the L3901) and a few forum threads discussing various other brands of hydraulic augers.
I ordered mine with the Land Pride 3rd function valve and I have no complaints so far. These are only the 3rd and 4th holes that I’ve dug with it, so I’m sure with a bit more practice I’ll get better at figuring out when to float and when to add pressure.
It turns slow, but it does the job and it’s way easier than using a 3pt auger. These holes were 4’-5’ from a fairly large tree, so there’s lots of roots that the bit is chewing through with very little complaints.
