Overview
The wide-inch auger bit drills post holes, footings, and fence lines in Canadian soil conditions ranging from sandy loam to hard clay. Kubota Canada dealer locations span every province, with factory-matched attachments and parts support. 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 Kubota dealers across Canada.

- Mount: Kubota quick attach (SSQA compatible)
- Application: fence posts, footings, utility poles

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
🔧 Machine Compatibility
Designed for Kubota machines but mounts to any skid steer or CTL with a universal SSQA quick-attach plate.
About Kubota in Canada
Kubota attachments are available through the Kubota dealer network across Canada, which covers most provinces. If you run Kubota compact equipment, same-brand attachments provide the best hydraulic compatibility and your local dealer handles both machine and attachment support under one roof.
Care & Maintenance
- Grease the drive unit gearbox per the manufacturer's schedule — typically every 8 hours of operation; a starved gearbox is the most common cause of drive unit failure
- Inspect bit carbide teeth after every use in rocky or abrasive soil — worn or chipped teeth increase drive unit load and reduce penetration
- Replace a worn pilot bit before the main teeth wear — the pilot centers the bit and prevents wobble that stresses the drive unit gearbox
- Check hydraulic hose connections at the drive unit before each use — hose chafing in tight soil is a common failure point
- Store bits vertically or with exposed carbide protected — storing lying flat with unprotected carbide causes chipping from incidental contact
