Tractor pto augers

Commonly referred to as Post Hole Diggers and Earth Augers, Tractor PTO Augers are implements used in conjunction with a tractors Power Take Off drive, and a tractors 3 point hitch.

The basic concept of a tractor PTO auger is to harness the tractors available energy by attaching a PTO shaft to a tractors PTO drive in order to drill a hole of predetermined size (size of the auger shaft and diameter) and depth into the ground. This in turn will provide power to the Tractor PTO Auger's gearbox. Most modern [http://www.everythingattachments.com/Tractor-Augers-Post-Hole-Diggers-s/53.htm] Tractor PTO Auger gearboxes come standard with a shear bolt to protect the gear drive if the auger encounters an obstruction such as rock during drilling a hole.

----Tractor PTO Augers connect via 3 point hitch to subcompact tractors and mid-size tractors. [See http://www.grounds-mag.com/mag/grounds_maintenance_portable_augers_praiseworthy/]
