Rutherfordton Nc Ford 8n retrieval and Resurrection. I hope!

Ok lets talk post hole diggers. I'm thinking of building a pole barn for trailer and tractor and wood storage. Just under the top soil is clay. Digging post holes is a PITA! I also plan on redoing the entire perimeter fence line at some point. So I figure a PHD would be a good investment. Any of you have any experience with one on an old Ford?
In my experience my 8n didn't lift it hight enough and the front was pretty light. Down pressure hydraulics is also a great way to minimize risks to the family jewls. We were using an old auger, I think its a leinbach brand.
 
I doubt that 8n has the mustard to pull an auger big enough for what you need. Post holes need to be 16" dia minimum.

I was thinking of making more than one hole for the footer or pier and fine tuning by hand. Easier than a shovel and pick axe. Main thing it the fence redo.
