<panel title="Summary">
Among other uses, Powered Augers are used to drill holes into the ground to erect farm fencing. 


Some notes on the augers I'm considering buying to set up fences.

</panel>

### Power ###
The stronger the better. Mud's and clay is easy. Rock is certainly not. And there's always rock when you least expect it.

### Safety ###
Some have a clutch that the moment the bit catches and starts to spin the motor instead, it releases so that your wrists don't broken.

### Shaft Length Considerations ###
To keep out goats, and keep in deer, 1800 above ground is recommended. Since 1/3 should be under ground, holes should be 900 deep, determining the length of the auger needed: 900 underground, and average height of a person is 1800, so half of that is about 900. So auger bits should be extendible to a minimum of 1500, accounting for about 300 for the motor itself, above the shaft. 

### Oil:Gas Mix ###
I prefer 1:40 oil mixes, but Chinese engines seem to prefer 1:25. I'm not sure why. Certainly makes the engine smoke a bit more than I am used to.
