Woods Augers and Post Hole Diggers

Even if a one or two man auger can dig the holes you need, they take a lot of time and effort to use. Augers and post hole diggers from Woods Equipment don’t just let you drill bigger holes, they let you drill faster. These augers are made to fit a wide range of vehicles, including tractors, skid steers, backhoes and excavators. Using these tools, you can prepare land for fencing, create holes for foundation piles and more.
 
 
Post Hole Diggers
 
These augers are designed to be mounted to a three point hitch and driven by a tractor PTO. Twin supports mounted to the gearbox create three points of contact, while a long handle at the top of the swivel joint helps line up the auger. If you have an open tractor, this handle will usually be within reach of the operator’s position. This makes it easy to drill at an offset, whether you need to drill a hole at an angle, or make up for tool movement when drilling a straight hole.
 
The booms on these diggers can be set to four positions, so they’ll work with most tractors. The gearbox is designed to work with a 540 RPM PTO. If the auger bit gets hung up, a shear bolt stops torque transfer, protecting drive components. All models can be fitted with an optional 12 inch auger extension for digging deeper holes.

Hydraulic Augers
 
These augers are designed to use hydraulic power from a backhoe, excavator or skid steer. Once mounted to the front arms of the machine, they can operate at a 40 or 50 degree attack angle.
 
The gearbox uses a planetary drive system, spreading out the load over multiple teeth. This makes these augers ideal for cutting through hard soil. Woods offers these augers with a choice of standard, hardface and carbide teeth, letting you balance cutting strength with durability. All models support auger diameters ranging from 6 to 36 inches. Woods recommends using the HA15E and HA20E for general construction use, while the HA30E and HA35E are built for heavy duty digging tasks.
