Its all about speed and effort. There is not a lot of effort in popping a hole with a trowel into fresh screened topsoil (known from other thread somewhere else). It is essentially one motion - jab and pull open the hole. You never let go of the trowel, the other hand is free to place the plant and pinch it in, you can do several without moving anything besides your arms, you don't have to carry anything besides a trowel and the plants, you don't have to go back to put the plants in the hole or to bury them.
In other words, you only go over the ground once, you are working fast, and you are travelling light.
Instead of three people trying to keep up with the auger, four people could be gittin' 'er done.
