Is This Right For You?
Buy if
- You drill post holes, footings, or tree holes regularly enough that buying beats renting
- Your skid steer's hydraulic output is matched to the drive unit — verify GPM range before buying
Skip if
- You only drill occasionally — renting an auger package for $250–$400/day often wins over ownership at $3,000–$8,000 investment
- Your machine's GPM is outside the drive unit's rated range — running outside spec damages the motor
Also consider
- A rental package first to confirm the right drive unit spec for your soil and machine
- Auger bits in multiple diameters — the drive unit investment only makes sense if you have the right bits to go with it
Compatible with all skid steer brands and compact track loaders via universal SSQA quick attach. Mid-frame machines (S450–S650 class) are the most common fit.
About Baumalight in Canada

Care & Maintenance
- Grease the drive unit gearbox per the manufacturer's schedule — typically every 8 hours of operation; a starved gearbox is the most common cause of drive unit failure
- Inspect bit carbide teeth after every use in rocky or abrasive soil — worn or chipped teeth increase drive unit load and reduce penetration
- Replace a worn pilot bit before the main teeth wear — the pilot centers the bit and prevents wobble that stresses the drive unit gearbox
- Check hydraulic hose connections at the drive unit before each use — hose chafing in tight soil is a common failure point
- Store bits vertically or with exposed carbide protected — storing lying flat with unprotected carbide causes chipping from incidental contact
How to Connect
- Attach auger drive head using Bob-Tach
- Connect high-flow hydraulic couplers (colour-coded on most brands)
- Verify rotation direction — auger should rotate clockwise when viewed from above
- Lower auger to ground and test rotation at idle before digging
