Gehl Skid Steer Auger Drive
Overview
The wide-inch auger bit drills post holes, footings, and fence lines in Canadian soil conditions ranging from sandy loam to hard clay. Gehl attachments are available through Canadian equipment dealers and distributors. Carbide teeth cut efficiently and are replaceable when worn. Pairs with a hydraulic auger drive unit; check your machine's GPM output for compatibility. Available through Gehl (Manitou Group) dealers across Canada.

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
Designed for Gehl machines but mounts to any skid steer or CTL with a universal SSQA quick-attach plate.
