Rippa R10 - Auger Assembly and Drilling

Watch me install and test a Rippa auger attachment on my Rippa R10-6 mini excavator to dig fence post holes. I cover mounting the auger drive head and 12-inch auger, running the hydraulic lines, and the missing M18x1.5 to M16x1.5 fitting adapter, then dig my first post hole solo in real time and more with a spotter. An honest first test of a mini excavator auger for homesteaders and DIY fence builders, with 150 ft of fence done in a day and a half. Thanks to GroundX Equipment in Ocala, FL.
