Cool video. Like the Auger on an excavator vs skid-steer. Wouldn't it make more sense to spin the auger clean not over the hole? Like you did at the end. Also how well does it work for keeping a plum hole, no problems with the bit wanting to slide? or bad angle when coming down with the arm/stick?

@Data57 Thanks! I spun the auger clean over the hole because i wanted the material as close to the hole as possible to back fill around the tubes, and actually very little dirt goes in to the hole when done this way. It can be tough to keep plumb it just takes some practice to learn how to correct it.

@BobcatNinja2124 Interesting, normally we drill the hole size so the sonotube is tight in the whole, no backfilling needed. Makes sense to leave dirt around the edge for backfilling.
