You did leave out one big advantage of a hydraulic driven auger. They can be reversed. If the flights from the bit get caught under a rock and stuck just reverse the direction of the bit and screw it back out.

[@mxadema]

Yes it does. The thing I find interesting is my tractor got down pressure 3point and the option of putting the PTO off the trans, making it turn background if in reverse. I learn on that old Mtz and lots of what it do is not standard on most tractor.

[@5thGenNativeTexan]

Exactly. That was the number one reason for use transitioning to a hydraulic auger vs a traditional PTO auger. Our area is very rocky and you're constantly hanging up a PTO auger on a rock and it's hard as heck to get it unstuck. With the hydraulic auger, you just reverse and back it out easily.

[@erikniemi1977]

While I can see some people wanting this in ranch applications where you are altering fence lines occationally, for it's cost I'd think the vast majority of tractor owners would still be a lot better off renting a hydraulic auger when the need arrises. I rented a towable hydraulic auger from the Homedepot for a about $150 for a full weekend and drilled about 300 holes to set up 5 acres of horse pastures. If you mark out your holes before you rent it and then just go to town drilling you get a lot of holes dug quick. Seems like this would be a fairly expensive attachment that the majority of people would never need to use regularly...but it's still a cool toy I guess.

[@zaappp1588]

I think you missed the part about having the weight and downforce of the loader. A 3 point PHD has only the weight of the auger and no downforce so if it hits rock, it's just going to sit there and spin and not dig not to mention you can reverse the hydraulic auger if you get it stuck. With a 3 point pto driven auger, you're either gonna have to dig the dirt off the top or manually turn the bit backwards...neither of which are very fun.

[@erikniemi1977]

@@zaappp1588I agree that having the weight of the loader and the ability to push down while drilling is nice. But I didnt mean to suggest a 3 point augers at all. I suggest renting a hydraulic stand alone auger for those setting up a property. I've used the 3 point augers and unless you are in a rock free area they are annoying to use. Stand alone hydraulic augers are the same as this attachment and smaller footprint than this unit attached to the tractor. The one I rented looked like a mini skid steer with the auger attached to the front. This is a cool piece of kit...just not usually useful once people set up their property and the fences are done.

[@zaappp1588]

@@erikniemi1977 I have seen some "towable" augers with an auger head on one end of a frame and a handlebar on the other end like a seesaw with no downforce other than what a person could apply. I assumed that's what you meant. It sounds like you're talking about something like a Toro Dingo or Boxer or Bobcat MD. I've used those before with limited success. They still don't handle rocks well and you are more limited on your hole depth than with a tractor or skid steer. Around here, you can rent a skid steer auger to use on a tractor for around $100/day or $245/week plus tax/ins. etc. Auger bits rent for about $25/day and $70/week. As long as you have a third function or can run it off your rear remotes then that's about the cheapest way to go.

[@kdegraa]

We have decided to buy a front end loader hydraulic auger. The main reason is we cannot rent a mini loader with an auger easily as they can't be rented out locally. Previously we rented a loader with an auger and it costs a bit over $1500 a week. They can be rented for $300 a day. The auger driver and bit will cost us about 3500 fitted. So its expensive. However we will have continued use from it over time, digging holes for trees in our orchard. We balanced up the cost of renting a skid steer for two weeks for $2500. against the cost of buying the driver and auger for $1000 more and we decided to buy.

Thanks for the information video. I personally drilled 100's of post holes in my younger life. Personally if I can drill a proper hole in less than 5 minutes, it still beats more than an hour of hard physical work. A compact tractor is not a 100 hp skid steer.... but a 100 hp tractor could pile drive your posts. Maybe a lower geared gear box could be a solution... just my thoughts

[@NickButters61]

Great video Neil! By the way what’s the implement cost?

[@KubotaMonsterBX23S]

Great video as always Neil. TY for the explanation of the 3rd function. I never understood what the difference was until you explained it the way you did. Surprised the auger didn't spin faster. Looks like it does a good job if you have nothing but dirt, but at that speed might have some issues in a rocky terrain. Thanks again for the video.

[@itsmenobody3590]

Hey Mike- I bought a 23s from you in Burlington about a year ago. I have some holes to dig in the rain storm this weekend to build a handrail for a neighbor who was recently in the hospital. I would love to demo this in the rock of the upper Skagit if you have one at one of your stores. I've been reluctant to pursue a three point auger, but this looks very interesting to me.

[@genesanders1468]

I've had mine for about a year with a 9" bit. I've been running it on my BX23S. I'm using a Kubota diverter kit, not a true 3rd function. Judging from the video, I would say the speed is about the same. It definitely goes slow but it still gets the job done. Much safer and more convenient than a 3 point mounted. Plus with a BX you can drill deeper holes. Just be sure to have rear ballast or you will tip forward.

[@calvinledford9606]

Gene Sanders what model with the BX23? Also, what happen if you get stuck on a rock?

[@genesanders1468]

Mine is the SA20 with the low flow motor. The same one that Neil is showing in the video. I found that if you get stuck, just reverse it. Also in harder soil sometimes you have to clean out the flights 2 to 3 times. I've never really found that be a problem though.

[@wildbill23c]

Interesting to know. I'm looking at the BX2680 as my first tractor on a 1 acre property, on occasion would need to dig new post holes. The ground here is pretty hard, I've dug hundreds by hand over the years, but getting a tractor gives me the option to get some attachments to make life easier. So, I'd suspect buying a hydraulic auger would be a great way to go over buying the PTO type as the hydraulic is easier to hookup and use....I'm not in a hurry so if it turns slower, and takes longer who cares, its easier and less back breaking than trying to dig by hand. Looking at the BX2680 with fast attach loader, roto-tiller, and box blade for now, but once you get the tractor your world of attachments is wide open within reason of your tractor's capability of course....only having an acre of land limits the size of the tractor that I need of course but I feel the sub-compact would be more than plenty. I just need something with a loader and ability to grade and level my driveway and roto-till and be able to regrade areas out in the field. Its not much but a riding lawnmower can't do any of that LOL.

[@zzvyb6]

I made my own from a used hydraulic motor. It spins quite a bit faster. I also want it off the side of the loader because many holes I need are for replacing posts at an existing fence. The centered diggers make it a PITA. I run it off the curl circuit. That's good enough. My auger is a tiny bit undersized for the post size. I push the posts in with my forks when all the holes are drilled. Done .

Good video as always. As with anything, having options is always good. I have a 3 pt phd on my b2650 here in the granite state. Love it. Imo, pros for the loader phd for downward thrust & reverse the direction of the auger~~~ Cons- very slow, can't see how a bigger auger would even operate, limiting the actual phd to smaller holes. I can also easily see rolling a tractor after getting the auger stuck trying to lift it out of the ground instead of reversing for any inexperienced operators.

It looks like the vertical indicator needs to be two-axis. While you were vertical in one axis it appeared you were going in quite crooked in the other axis.

[@MessicksEquip]

There is one on both sides

[@javabean215]

There's a left/right pivot that the motor hangs from. Lifting the bucket slightly allows gravity to center it left/right. The indicator is so you get the curl angle correct.

A lot quicker than hand digging! Are there other size augers or just one size?

He effectively let you unbox and take the plastic wrap off this thing.

[@nicholashollow9410]

Why can't there be an accessory hydraulic pump off the front or mid PTO just for the attachment. Then you run it just like a shaft driven implement.

[@MessicksEquip]

That's an option off the rear. You need room for a reservoir

[@philipirwin5286]

Hey Neil, I have a B3350 with a Landpride HD-35 auger. The speed at which yours just spun and my HD-35 spins is nearly identical.

[@rednecktech82]

I've heard some 3rd functions are limited on their flow. Are you able to tell me what the flow would be through my Landpride 3rd function (380-166a) on my Kubota MX5200?

[@steveholton4130]

How do I find out if my third function is the better one? It was installed when I got a Grapple bucket. I have no idea if it will run a hydraulic motor. My tractor is a TA33DA. Also, that was running no more than half the speed of the one on our old AC D-14 which was 8 inch PTO driven. BTW, open a store in central or northern CT. sdh in CT

[@javabean215]

If you can operate the third function (open/close grapple, spin the auger bit) while curling the bucket, then it's true 3rd function. If you have to stop curling, then flip a switch or press a button to change the joystick's "curl" over to "open", then it's a diverter....you're diverting the curl function into open grapple function.

[@javabean215]

Neil, I assume the hydraulic implement pump is the flow rate of concern with one of these. I've seen a couple of folks on KZbin using the Sa20 with a B2650 (one fellow was even using the mid-range motor instead of the low flow motor, and it worked fine in the soil he was playing in). I'm not familiar with the implement flow on the B2650; how does it compare with the L2501? I'm wondering if the 2501 can handle one of these even though its implement pump claims to be a hair over 5 gpm.

[@diver0129]

This was my question as well. I am currently shopping for a tractor and I am trying to decide what implements I want and what tractor I need to run them. Originally I planned on an 3pt auger. But after watching this video, I'm thinking that may not be the best plan.

[@mrtaktiks]

Why doesn't he answer such a crucial question?

[@stephengmeiner3264]

When are they going to raise the flow on tractors?

[@patricelebrasseur5649]

They would need to increase hp for that to happen. Modern compact tractor have a lot of flow even when compared to older large tractor like a super major

[@Warsign01]

They make pto hydro pumps with tank that can run high flow.

[@stephengmeiner3264]

Warsign01 : yes, I’ve seen those. They’re expensive and cumbersome. Plus they mount right where my backhoe is. I love my backhoe but would REALLY love it more if the tractor could provide it more flow. (L3301 w/ BH77)

So at the end of the day is this recommended for a B2650? Understand it may run slower.... does it have the power to drill through heavier soils?

I thought the pump on tractors would not allow for powering hydraulic motors? Especially 3rd function valves.

you can. There would be heat dissipation concerns if you had an attachment than ran non-stop. For example a Titan Trailblazer... not a great choice on a 3rd function.

Seems terrible to me. I’ve run a Bush Hog 3-point hitch auger on a B2920 and it is much, much quicker. Not sure why anyone would prefer this.

down force. Does not matter how fast it spins if you can't penetrate the ground.

I find that 3 point mounted auger and my rear remote functioning my hydraulic ram kit pushed constant 500 ft lb works great.

For us in rocky ground, it's absolutely necessary.. One: for being able to reverse to back out of a rock hang-up, and two: to have the down-force from the loader to penetrate through hard soil and rock (we have the rock bit).

Yeh - a tiller video would be great but you can only ask so much from the owner.. Thanks take care
