What’s the difference between earth auger bits and rock auger bits?
Skid steer auger bits for earth have chisel edges and replaceable pilot points. Rock bits use tougher steel and bullet-style teeth for hard surfaces like asphalt or concrete.
Do I need a high-flow skid steer to run an auger attachment?
Not always. While some augers need high-flow, many auger attachment for skid steer kits are built for standard flow. We’ll help match you with the right motor for your loader.
How do I maintain a skid steer auger attachment for long life?
Grease regularly, check and replace bits, clean after use, and tighten bolts. Store your skid steer auger attachment in a dry place and oil any exposed metal for rust protection.
What is included in a skid steer auger drive kit?
Most kits come with everything except the skid steer auger bit, which you choose based on your needs. Once paired, you're ready to mount and drill.

What size auger drive do I need?
Your drive unit must match your machine's hydraulic flow (GPM) and pressure (PSI). Using a drive rated for 10-20 GPM on a 30 GPM machine can damage the motor, while using a large drive on a low-flow machine will result in stalling.
Do your auger packages come with hoses?
Yes, our Digga auger packages come job-ready with the drive unit, mounting frame, and hydraulic hoses with flush-face quick disconnects included, so you can plug and play immediately.
Can I drill through rock?
Standard earth bits are for dirt and clay. For rock, concrete, or frozen ground, you need a specialized rock bit with carbide teeth. Attempting to drill rock with a standard bit will damage the pilots and teeth.
