If you drive through any new neighbourhood you will see signs for post holes to be dug. Last time I had a bobcat do it the cost was $10 per hole; minimum charge of $100.

If doing a deck be sure they dig a full 4 feet down to be below the frost line. Don't let the guy tell you that 3 feet is fine. 3 feet will be fine 95% of the time; which means odds are once in the next 20 years your deck will heave during the winter and you will have to rebuild it. The operator is just being lazy to put on the auger extension.
