CANGINI ATC 350 auger with MS03, 200mm auger (incl. VAT) - Standard auger head
Earth augers are rotary drilling attachments used with excavators, skid steers, and crawler loaders to bore holes for posts, foundations, trees, and anchors. They consist of a drive head, gearbox, and replaceable flighted bit available in various diameters and lengths. Options include hydraulic or mechanical drives, pilot bits, and different tooth types to match soil conditions, making them essential for fast, consistent hole production on construction and landscaping jobs.
Check your loader's hydraulic flow and pressure, weight capacity, and coupler type. Match the auger’s drive requirements (flow/psi) and use the correct adapter or quick-attach plate. Seller specs and your loader manual will confirm compatibility.
Pick diameter based on post or pile size and local code; common ranges are 100–900 mm (4–36 in). Choose bit length to reach required depth in one pass or plan to extend with extensions. Consider soil type—hard or rocky ground may need smaller pilot bits or different teeth.
Augers are heavy and long; vendors often ship gearbox and flighting separately to reduce freight size. Get a freight quote, crate or secure the bit, note overall length for road limits, and confirm unload equipment at delivery. Insure the shipment.
Grease the gearbox and swivel per manufacturer intervals, inspect and replace teeth or cutting edges, check drive seals and hoses, and tighten mount bolts. Flush hydraulic connections and monitor gearbox oil level and condition.
Stock common items like pilot bits, replaceable teeth/cutting edges, shear pins, seals, bearings, and gearbox oil. Quick access to these reduces downtime on job sites with repetitive drilling.
