Skid Steer Auger

Skid Steer Augers are one of the most useful and crucial pieces of equipment on a construction site. Be it soil, hard rock, or wood this device can dig into any difficulty. The device consists of a rotating metal shaft with blades attached at the ends that curtail the various materials. There is a huge range of several attachments that go along skid steer and make them capable of doing a lot more work by transforming into a multi-purpose machine.

Today we have decided to make your work less costly, get your tool at a terrific price! Grab your skid steer auger at the sale and let the machine do your tiresome digging.

What is Skid Steer Auger

An auger is a device used to drill into the earth. It is attached to the skid steer machine to pierce straight down. It comprises long heavy-duty steel with a blade at the end that spirals down in a helix shape. Its functioning mechanism is the same as an electric drill machine when the auger is forced deep into the ground, the attached rotating blades grab the material, wrapping it around the steel shaft, and extract the soil out, leaving a clean-cut hole ready for use.

The tool is designed to be consistent with other construction equipment such as skid steer loader, portable track loader, mini-excavators, etc.

Choose your correct Auger

Augers are categorized into three distinct categories: Standard Duty, Heavy Duty, and Heavy Duty High flow. They are designed to achieve different workloads depending on the type of soil. There are a few things that should be kept in mind while selecting an auger to get the best use out of it.

Torque: The torque level varies from size to size; large auger drives with a wide diameter can drill deeper and rougher ground whereas, the small auger drives are capable of giving more rotation on the bit but less torque. Summing the point, we can say that the higher the torque lower the speed will be and vice versa. So for hard ground, give up on speed and select a high drive auger.

Hydraulic system: The rotation speed of the auger highly dependents on the hydraulic flow rate power. So before buying, always ensure your skid steer's flow rate, as well as the type of piercing conditions and soil type.

Dept: The dig dept relies on the model of the skid steer. Most of the auger drives are apt to dig up to 72 inches however, there are extension attachments available to increase the performance and dept.

 Uses:-

Skid steer augers are not just limited to dig into the ground, rather they can efficiently plug into the dirt, sand, clay, rock, asphalt, concrete, and wood. Skid steer augers are used to dig for different purposes like construction and landscaping. Some of its common uses are:

1. Small auger drivers are used by landscapers to dig-in the hole for planting trees, shrubs, and plants.
2. Heavy-duty augers are used by construction crews; for footing, pile drilling, and cement mixing.
3. It is also used to dig fence posts and signpost holes to get the job done within seconds.
