On the down pressure to the auger I see the hydraulic cylinder for the main arm. What prevents the lift arms on the tractor 3 point hitch from rising when the cylinder puts pressure on the auger?
 
Looks like he took the third link out and attached the center link of the auger assembly in its place so that down pressure on the center link puts down pressure on everything.
 
It hooks up just like every other 3 pt auger. The leverage point is still the top of the 3 pt bow to the frame that goes to the gear box.

It is all in the angles. If you notice that the bow from the side view is always perpendicular to the ground and maintains it's angle (for the most part) whether the auger is up or down. Since the riser arms that connect to the hydraulic cylinder butt up against the bow it is forced to maintain the same angle.So the line along the hydraulic cylinder is shorter when raised and longer when down. The pressure to the lower arms of the tractor is horizontal and the pressure to the center-link attached to the tractor is vertical.

Good demo. That little weenie dog gettin out of the way was funny.

That was my favorite part.

What dun's not telling folks is that he had to have screened topsoil hauled in just so he would have somewhere to use his auger. From what I've seen of his place I wouldn't want to be in the hole digging business!

I was wondering where were the rocks.
