Turbo Power head (skid steer)
has anyone heard of something like that? i asked the dealership guy he said he never heard of it, what its suppose to do is give more RPM to your auger bit which is easier to rip through roots and clay

I have never heard of it, and as far as I can see faster rotation of an auger for posts would simply be a faster way to get the darn thing hung so bad you can't get it out.

Power will get you through roots and heavy clay, not speed.
