What is a Skid Steer Auger Attachment?

A skid steer auger attachment utilizes the power of your skid steer to excavate holes with something like a skid steer post hole digger. This power is transformed into a spinning force that drives an auger equipped with cutting edges. These edges slice through the soil enabling the auger flight to raise and extract soil from the hole.

Selecting the Skid Steer Post Auger Bit and Drive

When choosing the auger bit and drive for your skid steer post digger it's essential to ensure compatibility with your skid steer hole digger auger drive unit. Auger drives are available in sizes, including 2" hex, 2 1/2" hex, and 2 9/16" round. The auger bit must align with the drive unit for a match.

Torque; The size of the auger bit is dependent on the torque of the auger drive. Higher torque drive units require augers while lower torque units are better suited for smaller ones. Adapters can be utilized to pair augers with your drive unit providing flexibility between mini skid steer augers and full size counterparts.

Which Skid Steer Auger Drive Do I Need?

Selecting the auger drive unit involves taking into account hydraulic flow rates. Each drive unit is designed to accommodate a range of gallons per minute (GPM). Running the unit with a low flow rate can cause damage or reduce its performance. To make sure your auger drive unit works optimally match its GPM rating with the flow of your skid steer.

What does "Flight" refer to in a Skid Steer Hole Auger?

The flight is the strip attached to the shaft of the auger that helps lift loosened material out of the hole. It's important for the weld connecting the flight to be sturdy to prevent any failures. Skid steer augers come with double flights generally sufficient for handling loose soil. Skid steer augers are typically 48 inches in length varying in diameter depending on needs. For example Star Industries offers a 30 inch t post auger tailored to improve efficiency when digging holes for t posts. By using accessories like auger extensions a skid steer post hole auger can extend the digging depth beyond the 48 inches by adding from 24 inches, up to 72 inches more depth. There are various types of post hole augers for skid loader designed for different purposes and functions. Skid steer augers serve purposes such as digging holes with dirt augers handling heavy duty rock augers and grinding stumps efficiently. They offer tooth styles and configurations tailored to applications.

What Are the Most Common Uses of Skid Steer Augers?

Fence Installation; Ideal for digging fence post holes in commercial or agricultural projects.

Foundation Excavation; Useful for placing foundation piers or footings by drilling through soil types.

Tree Planting; Speedily drills to the depth for planting trees.

Utility Pole Installation; Capable of swiftly and robustly digging utility pole holes.

Landscaping and Ground Preparation; Suitable for tasks, like installation sign placement, lamp post setup and various other landscaping activities.
