[papercreters] Re: Power post hole auger mixer?

Well the unit I am looking at puts out 150 ft lb of torque! Remember
these things are designed to dig through hard dirt. I have seen some
folks here using drill motors for 55 gallon batches. I think this
would have more torque. Slower rpm though so I am still wondering
about that. What is the rpm of the average tow mixer?

Thanks for any input.
