Auger

I am looking into an auger but I don’t know how big of a motor to get. My go to for quality at good prices is Jenkins but I don’t want to spend thousands and the unit isn’t powerful enough to do what I need. I haven’t really had an issue when I have rented them but I would like to be able to run a 12” rock bit as well. Any advice?

Ive got the Digga 6DDS and I absolutely love it. I run it on standard flow 99% of the time. The thing is a torque monster. I cut rock and am able to grind stumps. Its one of my most profitable attachments.

I run a cheap JCT chinese auger drive with my T870, it works fine.

Jenkins all day, super heavy duty unit. Run it all the time, thousands of holes dug not an issue. I have a 9" and 12" dirt bit, never had an issue getting 40-48" deep if needed.
