The Bore Pig HD - Skid Steer Auger

Dig deeper with our industry-leading warranty and power.

The Bore Pig HD is a skid steer auger and post hole digger in one attachment. These powerful earth auger drive units are durable enough to withstand construction, utility, fencing and demanding ground-prep work in tough soil conditions. These planetary drive units produce high torque at low speeds and offer reverse rotation for cleaning out the hole.

Quick Attach skid steer auger bits are built for serious drilling performance, with heavy-duty construction, double flighting for faster dirt removal, and bit options designed for dirt, rock, and tree planting. Whether you call it an auger, a post hole digger or an earth drill, it is the same job: clean, consistent holes from 4 to 48 inches.


Skid Steer Auger Bits: Choose the Right One for the Job

From everyday drilling to rocky ground and tree planting, Quick Attach auger bits are built for demanding conditions with heavy-duty construction, aggressive cutting performance, and replaceable wear components.

Heavy-Duty Dirt Bit

Heavy-Duty Dirt Auger Bit

Ideal for most drilling applications, these double-flighted dirt bits feature a one-piece cast steel boring head that holds teeth at aggressive angles for compacted soil, heavy clay, frozen ground, and cobble mixes.

  • 5/16" HD double flighting
  • 4' standard length
  • HD cast steel tri-tip boring head
  • Hardened drive-in gauge teeth, outside position
  • Hardened drive-in chisel teeth, inside position
  • Replaceable cast tri-tip boring head

Heavy-Duty Rock Bit

Heavy-Duty Rock Auger Bit

Built for seriously rocky conditions, the Heavy-Duty Rock Bit uses carbide bullet teeth, thicker flighting, heavier center tubes, and hard-faced leading edges to handle tough drilling demands.

  • 3/4" HD double flighting
  • Hard-faced flighting
  • 4' standard length
  • Fabricated boring head
  • Bullet-style teeth
  • Hardened fishtail point
  • 2-year warranty
Tree Bit

Tree Auger Bit

Designed for planting, the Tree Bit creates a tapered hole with a wider top for the root ball and a narrower, roughened bottom to support drainage, root penetration, and healthier tree establishment.

  • Tapered for the ideal hole shape
  • 5/16" HD double flighting
  • 4' standard length
  • HD cast steel tri-tip boring head
  • Hardened drive-in teeth
  • Replaceable cast tri-tip boring head
  • 2-year warranty

What Size Auger Bit Do You Need?

The Bore Pig HD drills holes from 4 to 48 inches, and the right bit depends on three things: hole diameter, ground conditions, and your machine's hydraulic flow. Larger diameters need more torque, so a 12-inch bit asks considerably more of your skid steer than a 6-inch one. Match all three and the auger cuts clean and fast; mismatch them and you will stall in the hole.

Job Typical diameter Bit to choose Ground
Fence posts 6–12" Heavy-Duty Dirt Auger Bit Soil, clay, frost
Deck and sign footings 9–18" Heavy-Duty Dirt Auger Bit Soil, compacted fill
Rocky ground, shale 6–24" Heavy-Duty Rock Auger Bit Rock, cobble, hardpan
Tree and shrub planting 12–36" Tree Auger Bit Any, tapered hole
Stump removal n/a Optional Stump Planer Bit Any

Bore Pig HD Earth Auger FAQ

Answers to common questions about the Bore Pig HD earth auger and post hole digger attachment.

Is a skid steer auger the same as a post hole digger?

Yes. A skid steer auger and a post hole digger are the same type of attachment: a hydraulic drive unit that spins an auger bit to bore clean, consistent holes. Some buyers also call it an earth auger or a skid steer drill attachment. The Bore Pig HD does all of it, drilling from 4 to 48 inches for fence posts, footings, tree planting and utility work.

What hydraulic flow do I need to run it?

The Bore Pig HD runs on 10 to 25 GPM, which covers most standard-flow and high-flow skid steers and compact track loaders. Check your machine's auxiliary hydraulic flow in its operator manual before you order. Send us your make and model and we will confirm the fit.

What is a planetary drive, and why does it matter?

A planetary gear drive produces high torque at low speed, which is what you want when the bit meets clay, frost, or rock. It is the reason the Bore Pig HD delivers 3,300 ft/lbs of torque and keeps turning where a lighter drive would stall. It also means fewer moving parts and lower maintenance than a chain drive.

Which auger bit should I use?

For most work, the Heavy-Duty Dirt Auger Bit handles compacted soil, heavy clay, frozen ground and cobble mixes. For seriously rocky ground, the Heavy-Duty Rock Auger Bit uses carbide bullet teeth and hard-faced flighting. For planting, the Tree Auger Bit cuts a tapered hole with a wider top for the root ball. A stump planer bit is available as an option.

Will it fit a mini skid steer?

The Bore Pig HD is built for full-size skid steers and compact track loaders. For mini skid steers and compact tool carriers, the Bore Pig Mini is the right unit, drilling up to 36 inches. Tell us your machine and we will point you to the correct one.
