I've been digging holes for the last couple weeks with about every version of a 9 inch auger out there in rocks, loose dirt, and hard packed clay. (We are redesigning our post hole diggers here at work and are testing the competition.) If you are in clay, sharp teeth will make a difference like you wouldn't believe. Call Danuser and order a set of teeth for $35 (I think that was the price on the newer augers) and that will help tremendously. If that doesn't do it, weld a bracket on the boom and hang weights. In packed clay, augers that won't dig at all with no weight will dig with 90 pounds on the boom in our testing. Spiral tips seem to work better in clay than fish tail types. Which do you have? If your teeth are worn badly, just replace them, not worth the trouble to weld and resharpen.
