Efficiency Tips
- Mark all hole positions before starting — more efficient route planning
- Carry spare fuel — 1 litre covers approximately 20–30 holes
- Clean auger bit after every 10 holes — packed soil reduces penetration speed
- Wet dry soil slightly before augering — significantly easier drilling
