Skid Steer Auger

A hole dug wrong costs you twice, once in wasted concrete and again in the redig, which is why operators who set posts for a living treat auger selection as seriously as the machine itself.

A skid steer auger system turns your loader's hydraulic flow into drilling torque, and getting the pairing right is the difference between biting cleanly into hard ground and bogging down in it. The drives here span standard-flow loaders through high-flow equipment, sized so the torque matches the soil you work.

An auger is two tools working together: the drive that spins and the bit that cuts. Match a light bit to a rock drive and it stalls; match a rock bit to an underpowered drive and it never bites. For jobs that call for a bigger carrier, an excavator auger covers the deep foundation and utility work a skid steer cannot reach. Every drive here is chosen for crews who judge an attachment by how many holes it sinks before service, not by its price on day one.

Best Skid Steer Augers for...

Fence Post Installation

The best skid steer auger for fence post installation is a standard-flow drive paired with a 6 to 12-inch earth bit. The Digga 2DSS Auger Package with Mount fits this application.

Tree Planting and Landscaping

The best skid steer auger for tree planting is a standard-flow drive with a bit sized to the root ball for clean holes. The Digga 1DSS Auger Package with Mount suits lighter landscape drilling.

Hard Ground and Rock

The best skid steer auger for hard ground is a high-flow drive matched to a carbide rock bit that bites where earth bits skip. The Digga 4DSS Auger Package with Mount delivers that torque.

High-Volume Production Drilling

The best skid steer auger extension for high-volume production is a high-flow drive built to sink hole after hole without heat soak. The Digga 4DDS High Flow Auger Package is made for that pace.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a skid steer auger system used for?

A skid steer auger drills clean, precise holes for fence posts, tree planting, utility poles, and concrete footings. It attaches to a skid steer's hydraulic system and turns flow into rotational torque, letting one operator sink holes far faster than digging by hand or renting a towable rig.

How much hydraulic flow do I need to run a skid steer auger?

You need a drive sized to your loader's auxiliary flow, with standard-flow drives running on 10 to 20 GPM machines and high-flow drives suited to 20 to 42 GPM. A drive matched to the wrong flow bogs in soft soil or refuses to bite hard ground.

What size auger bit should I choose?

Choose a bit two to three inches wider than the post or pole you are setting, so there is room for gravel or concrete backfill. Earth bits suit loam and clay, while rock bits with carbide teeth handle compacted or rocky ground. Common diameters run from 6 to 36 inches.

What is the difference between an auger drive and an auger bit?

The drive is the powered gearbox that turns hydraulic flow into torque, and the bit is the flighted tool that cuts and lifts soil. They are matched separately, so the drive's torque rating and the bit's diameter and tooth type both need to suit your soil.

Can a skid steer auger dig through rock and other hard ground conditions?

Yes, with the right pairing, a high-flow auger drive fitted with a rock bit and carbide teeth breaks into compacted ground, shale, and light rock. Standard earth bits skip out on hard material, so rocky sites call for a high-torque drive and hard-faced flighting to keep the bit cutting.
