Skid Pro HD Planetary Auger Drive w/Rockbit

The Skid Pro HD Planetary Auger Drive with Rockbit is a robust attachment designed for skid steer loaders, providing high efficiency in drilling applications. This used model features a planetary gear reduction drive system, ensuring maximum power transfer without the need for chains. With over 3,000 ft-lbs of torque, it is capable of handling demanding tasks such as rock and hardpan drilling. Equipped with a universal 2-inch hex output shaft, the drive mechanism supports various auger bit sizes from 6 inches to 36 inches and beyond, depending on the hydraulic flow of the machine and the specific digging requirements. The unit, weighing around 350 pounds without the auger bit, is mounted on a heavy-duty quick-attach plate featuring a built-in transport cradle and double-knuckle pivot for easy handling. For increased efficiency in tough conditions, the cutting head boasts aggressive hammer-in or tungsten carbide teeth, specifically designed to break through rock material rather than bouncing like conventional dirt bits. Additionally, it includes a built-in hydraulic pressure relief valve that instantly halts the motor in case of encountering an immovable object, thereby safeguarding the gearbox and the bit.
