WARNING: Never position raisers of any kind under the wheels of the auger to increase height. This includes pieces of wood, cement blocks, bricks, etc. Attempting this could result in damage to the equipment and personal injury or death. Make sure that the hitch is secured to the tractor, and that all hydraulic connections are tight and in good working condition.
