Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You drill post holes, footings, or tree holes regularly enough that buying beats renting
- Your skid steer's hydraulic output is matched to the drive unit — verify GPM range before buying
⛔ Skip if…
- You only drill occasionally — renting an auger package for $250–$400/day often wins over ownership at $3,000–$8,000 investment
- Your machine's GPM is outside the drive unit's rated range — running outside spec damages the motor
🔍 Also consider…
- A rental package first to confirm the right drive unit spec for your soil and machine
- Auger bits in multiple diameters — the drive unit investment only makes sense if you have the right bits to go with it
Compatible with all skid steer brands and compact track loaders via universal SSQA quick attach. Mid-frame machines (S450–S650 class) are the most common fit.
