Auger Drive converts excavator hydraulic power into rotary drilling motion for earth augers, rock augers and other compatible drilling tools. It is used for post holes, utility installations, landscaping, foundation preparation and selected piling or civil-engineering work.

The drilling tool should be chosen for the ground conditions and hole requirements, while the drive unit must be matched to the carrier’s hydraulic supply and mounting system. Selection should consider excavator size, required hole diameter, soil or rock characteristics, drilling depth, torque requirements and tool compatibility.
