[RE-wrenches] Schletter or Zilla

Wed Dec 23 07:52:11 PST 2015

I have used Krinner ground screws, and combned them with Unirac.  The 
screws work well in many soil types, but for a large project you would 
need an auger driver on a bobcat to ensure the screws go in completely 
vertical (they tilt if you are not careful). Chris
