Rippa Pro-Series Mini Skid Steer Auger – Precision Drilling in Tight Spaces

Turn your mini loader into a high-speed drilling rig. The Rippa Pro-Series Auger is engineered specifically for the hydraulic flow of mini skid steers, delivering the raw torque needed to penetrate hard-packed clay, roots, and rocky soil. Because it is mounted on the loader arms, the operator has a perfect view of the bit, allowing for "on-the-mark" accuracy every time.

Whether you are a fencing contractor setting miles of posts or a landscaper planting a new orchard, this high-torque planetary drive system ensures you drill deeper and faster without the maintenance headaches of chain-driven alternatives.

Key Features & Selling Points

• High-Torque Planetary Drive: The heavy-duty planetary gearbox multiplies hydraulic power into massive rotational torque. This allows the auger to maintain consistent RPMs in "gumbo" clay and heavy soil where direct-drive units would stall.

• Gravity-Leveling Cradle: The specialized mounting hitch allows the auger to swing freely in four directions. This ensures your holes stay perfectly vertical even when the machine is positioned on slopes or uneven terrain.

• Standard 2” Hex Output Shaft: Built with the industry-standard 2-inch hex drive, providing a much stronger connection than round shafts. This eliminates the risk of shearing pins and allows for total compatibility with a wide variety of bits and extensions.

• Reinforced Hydraulic Motor: Precision-matched to the standard flow rates of mini loaders, ensuring maximum power delivery without overheating the machine's hydraulic system.

• High-Visibility Design: The low-profile mounting frame gives the operator an unobstructed view of the pilot bit, making it easy to line up holes perfectly along a fence line.

• Universal Mini Skid Mount: Designed to fit the industry-standard mini-mount system, making it compatible with Rippa
