Your absolutely right BLFG. I am concerned much more about effort than I am speed. I just had no way to demonstrate or measure effort but I could easily deono speed. And since speed is probably in direct proportion to effort (less effort = drill hole faster), we went with speed.
And yes, I agree that if both augers are turning at the same rpm, they should tie. But when you add the human factor, I would think that the bigger auger would slow the human down a little bit compared to the smaller auger. And it did infact slow me down when we traded.
So I guess that a better comparison would be the same guy (rather than 2 guys) testing/timing the two different augers.
I know this was all pretty un-scientific, but I did learn a thing or too.
