Spec Sheet

Use the Paladin CS49-45 Heavy Duty auger attachment with any of our Rental High Flow Skid loaders. Make any hole you need with your choice of a 9,12,15,18,20,24,30, or 36" auger bits. This is the way to dig holes fast.

Earth augers are also known as earth awgers or hydraulic auger or hole digger or post hole digger

FAQ

When should I rent this high-flow skid loader auger drive instead of a standard auger or hand-held digger?

This is commonly used for: drilling large-diameter holes for pole barn footings; setting commercial utility or fence posts; planting large root-ball nursery trees; boring through dense, rocky soil or heavy clay; and high-volume post-hole drilling on expansive commercial jobsites. It delivers up to 4,963 ft-lbs of torque and speeds up to 106 rpm on high-flow hydraulics, making light work of wide bits up to 36 inches. If you only need to dig a few 6- to 8-inch holes in soft soil, a standard-flow attachment or a walk-behind unit is easier to maneuver and more cost-effective.

What auger bit sizes are available with this drive unit?

We stock a full range of compatible bit diameters including 9, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 30, and 36 inches. The drive motor uses a heavy-duty 2.5-inch hex shaft, ensuring positive engagement that resists stripping under heavy torque. Let our team know your required hole diameter and planned depth when booking so we can pair you with the right bits and extension accessories.

Can I run this auger attachment on a standard-flow skid loader?

Yes, it can run on both standard-flow and high-flow auxiliary circuits. On a standard-flow machine (around 17.5 gpm, such as a Takeuchi TL6), it turns at roughly 46 rpm and outputs 3,918 ft-lbs of torque at 3,000 psi. On a high-flow machine (up to 40 gpm, such as a Takeuchi TL12V2), speed increases to around 106 rpm with up to 4,441–4,963 ft-lbs of torque, giving you much faster drilling and clearing speeds.

How should I transport this auger attachment and bits?

The drive unit and bit can be transported mounted directly on your rental skid loader on an appropriately rated equipment trailer, or carried flat in the bed of a full-size pickup or heavy utility trailer. Auger bits roll easily during transit, so ensure the drive head and all spare bits are firmly strapped down with heavy-duty ratchet straps before moving. Gap Power also offers delivery service directly to your jobsite.

What site preparation is required before drilling with a skid loader auger?

Always call 811 to locate and mark underground utility lines before beginning any earth drilling. Because a high-flow skid loader drive develops thousands of foot-pounds of torque, hitting buried gas, water, or electric lines poses an immediate safety hazard and risks costly underground damage.
