Drilling Holes
I need some advice. When drilling holes with power auger on a skidsteer ,is there something special you do to keep the hole straight & not going @ an angle. Without a man standing on the ground to tell you to straighten it up it leaves you to guess at it

The first thing I would do is make sure that you have the skid steer sitting on a level pad.

You could add a hangy down (plumb bar) thing to the mast. Cranes use them to give degree readouts to help give the safe load ratings. It's just a bar hanging on a shaft/screw, that will hang plumb.
