Same issue. I Pre-weaken the shear bolt with a file cut around the edges so it will snap more easily. <br /><br />If you are needing to chain it up, you are using it too hard. <br /><br />I find keeping a pipe wrench (like a 24", or a 12 with a piece of pipe) handy to make sure I can reverse the auger out of the ground if I catch something is a good thing.<br /><br />Might try taking smaller bites and lifting the auger often so it can clear itself. That often is the only way I can dig in hard/heavy clay. <br /><br />B https://www.blogger.com/profile/10586046436233366155noreply@blogger.com
