How do I select the right auger?

To choose the proper auger, think about what you'll be using it for. A 2- or 3-inch auger, like a mini digger auger, works well for planting smaller items like bulbs or plugs. For tasks like burying stakes, setting small posts, or planting larger shrubs, go for a 4-inch or larger auger. Also, consider the auger's length for ease of use and efficiency. For larger tasks, consider an excavator auger for sale or a hydraulic auger for an excavator.

Auger drill bit sizes:

• 2- to 3-inch bits: Ideal for planting bulbs or installing small poles.

• 6-inch bit: Commonly used for digging holes for small plants or steel fence posts.

• 8- to 10-inch bits: Suitable for digging holes for larger plants or 4x4 wooden fence posts. For heavy-duty tasks, look into an auger bit for an excavator or a post hole auger for a mini excavator.

How is auger size measured?

To measure auger size, start by calculating the diameter you'll need for the auger flighting. The outer diameter is determined by adding the shaft diameter to twice the strip width (measured from the inside edge to the outside edge). When choosing attachments, consider options like a mini excavator auger attachment for sale or an excavator mounted auger drill for precise measurements.
