Augers

Earth augers drill clean, consistent holes for fence posts, deck footings, and planting — no more breaking your back with a manual digger. Built for farmers, fencing crews, and landscapers, our augers mount to tractors and skid steers or come as towable units to power through soil, clay, and rocky ground. Match bit diameter and drive to your job and set posts in a fraction of the time.

Which Auger Setup Fits Your Job?

Your drive type and bit diameter determine what you can dig and how fast. Match the auger to your equipment and the holes you need.

• Tractor-mounted: Three-point PTO augers for fencing and property work.
• Skid-steer: Hydraulic augers with high torque for demanding, high-volume digging.
• Towable: Standalone units for those without a tractor or skid steer.

What to Look For

• Bit diameter: Size to your post or footing — narrow bits for posts, wide for footings.
• Drive type: PTO, hydraulic, or engine-driven to match your equipment.
• Soil conditions: Rocky or hard clay ground calls for heavy-duty bits and more torque.

Frequently Asked Questions

What auger bit diameter do I need?

Match bit diameter to what you're setting — narrower bits for fence posts and wider bits for deck footings and larger poles.

Can an earth auger dig through rocky or hard soil?

Yes, with the right heavy-duty bit and enough torque; rocky and hard-clay ground digs slower and demands more drive power.

Do I need a tractor to run an auger?

Not necessarily — tractor and skid-steer augers need host equipment, but towable units run on their own for those without it.
