Our hydraulic auger attachment turns the 1.7 tonne excavator into a practical post-hole drilling machine, ideal for fencing, landscaping and footing preparation.
Powered by the excavator’s auxiliary hydraulics, the auger helps drill holes with less manual digging. It’s a useful addition for fence posts, retaining-wall posts, deck footings and tree planting.
Hire includes the auger drive and one auger. Additional augers can be added if you need different hole sizes during your job. Contact us to confirm available auger sizes and suitability for your ground conditions.Attachment type: Hydraulic auger drive
