The Eterra Auger Drive is a hydraulic powerhead that spins a 2-inch hex bit to bore holes in soil, clay, and frozen or rocky ground. It mounts to a skid steer and runs off the machine's auxiliary hydraulics, with three drive sizes that scale torque and bit capacity to the work.

A planetary drive and reinforced gearbox put the power at the bit and resist the shaft pullout that plagues lighter units, and a locking collar holds the auger steady during transport and setup. This is built for fence, deck, and footing crews that drill holes day in and day out and need a drive that holds up under repeated, heavy use.

Common Applications

  • Boring footing, deck, and fence-post holes with Eterra auger bits
  • Augering through compacted soil, clay, and rocky ground
  • Setting deck, dock, and sign posts

Selection Notes

  • Three drive sizes match hydraulic flow and torque to the carrier machine; choose by your skid steer's flow.
  • An optional Flip Mounting Frame adds 180-degree rotation for standard or inverted drilling.
  • Hydraulic hoses and couplers are included; auger bits, extensions, and adapters are ordered separately. The 2-inch hex driveshaft fits all Eterra auger bits and accessories.
  • Confirm the recommended bit size for your drive size and ground conditions with the supplier before ordering.
