📘 Overview
The Star Industries 160HK auger hose kit connects an auger drive to your machine auxiliary hydraulics. It includes two 1/2 inch by 96 inch hoses in a protective sleeve, fitted with flat face hydraulic quick couplers. The kit is included in every complete Star auger assembly and sold separately here for two reasons: hoses are the part that gets damaged first on a hydraulic attachment, and a drive bought on its own to replace a worn unit needs hoses if the originals have failed. Flat face couplers are the standard across the Star auger and grapple ranges.

🔑 Why Buyers Choose the Star Industries 160HK Auger Hose Kit
- Hoses fail before drives do — a hose is the exposed part of a hydraulic attachment, taking abrasion, crushing and UV. Stocking a kit means a damaged hose is a same-day fix rather than a machine standing idle.
- The protective sleeve is why they last — two hoses running side by side chafe against each other and against the frame. A sleeve holds them together and takes that wear instead of the hose cover.
- Flat face couplers connect clean — a flat face coupler traps almost no fluid when disconnecting and picks up far less dirt than a poppet type, which matters on an attachment that spends its life in soil.
- One coupler standard across the range — the same flat face connection is used on Star augers and grapples, so a yard running both stocks one type of coupler and one set of spares.
- A drive bought alone still needs hoses — replacing a worn drive on an existing frame is the usual route, and if the original hoses have gone this is the part that completes it.

🔗 Where the Hose Kit Fits in an Auger Setup
A complete Star auger setup is three parts: the mounting frame that fits your machine, the drive unit chosen by your auxiliary hydraulic flow, and this hose kit connecting the two to the machine. Complete assemblies include all three. Buying separately suits a machine already running a Star frame, where only the drive or the hoses need replacing. Flat face hydraulic quick disconnect couplers, part 1000-0028, are also sold on their own and fit all Star grapples as well as the auger range.
🚜 Which Machines and Drives Fit This Auger Hose Kit?
The kit connects an auger drive to a machine auxiliary hydraulic circuit and suits any Star auger drive — the 160D-1020B, 160D-1530B and 160D-2035B skid steer drives, and the 160D-615M and 160D-1020M mini drives. The 96 inch hose length covers the run from a skid steer or mini loader auxiliary connection to the drive on its frame. Flat face couplers are used throughout the Star auger and grapple ranges, so the same connection standard applies across attachments.

❓ Star Industries 160HK Auger Hose Kit Questions, Answered
What is in the auger hose kit?
Two 1/2 inch by 96 inch hydraulic hoses in a protective sleeve, fitted with flat face hydraulic quick couplers. That is everything needed to connect an auger drive to your machine auxiliary circuit.
Is the hose kit included with a complete auger assembly?
Yes. Every complete Star auger assembly includes the 160HK hose kit along with the mounting frame and drive unit. It is sold separately here as a replacement, or for a drive bought on its own.
Why are flat face couplers used?
They trap almost no fluid when disconnecting and pick up far less dirt than a poppet type coupler. On an attachment that spends its life in soil, that means cleaner connections and less contamination entering the hydraulic system.
Will the kit fit any Star auger drive?
Yes. It suits all Star auger drive units — the 160D-1020B, 160D-1530B and 160D-2035B skid steer drives and the 160D-615M and 160D-1020M mini drives.
Can I use it on a Star grapple?
The same flat face coupler standard is used across the Star auger and grapple ranges, so the coupler connection is common. Grapple hose sets are also available sized specifically by bucket width.
Why buy a hose kit separately?
Two reasons. Hoses are the part of a hydraulic attachment that fails first, taking abrasion, crushing and UV exposure. And a drive bought on its own to replace a worn unit needs hoses if the originals have gone.
What does the protective sleeve do?
It holds the two hoses together and takes the chafe that would otherwise wear through the hose covers where they rub against each other and the frame. It is the reason a hose kit lasts rather than being consumed.
Are couplers available on their own?
Yes. Flat face hydraulic quick disconnect couplers, part 1000-0028, are sold separately and fit all Star grapples as well as the auger range.
What warranty comes with the hose kit?
The Star Industries 160HK hose kit carries a 5-year factory guarantee and is made in the USA.
