Anyone have experience with using the Bobcat MT52 w/ auger for fence posts?

I have some pretty nasty soil around me, and am hoping to greatly expedite my fencing job by renting one of these. I'm sure I'll still have to get in their with a San Angelo bar to bust some rocks, but I was hoping someone might have a favorable review for its fence post hole digging application.

Thanks!

I have used my mt52 with a 6" and 9" bits for fences and has worked perfect on all type of soils, even small rocks are not a problem, make sure you set the bit straight where the hole is going to be and pound a little before starting to drill, drill couple feet turn off drill and pull it out shake it and you can almost drill a clean hole without any manual labor.

Awesome, thanks. I'm going to be using the 9" bit, as that's the smallest I can find to rent. I appreciate the advice.
