[AT] Drill Problem

[Dean VP]

Have you tired a 0.375 Caliber rifle?  I have had good luck using Cobalt
drills for really hard metal. They stay sharp much longer. Unfortunately
they are a bit brittle so use a little more care in keeping the drill
straight. A 3/8" drill size is a pretty good size so it won't break as
easily as the smaller ones do.

I need to drill a few more 3/8 holes in my cow stanchions.  I tried using my
normal drills but they quickly became very dull.  I suspect that the
stachions are "hardened" steel.

Does any one know how do do this or what kind of drill bit to use?

P. S.  If you really need a tractor reference......The stanchions hold the
cows which eat the hay that comes from the field which is plowed with one of
my tractors!
