Premier manufactures both medium duty and heavy duty earth auger attachments for use with mini excavators. Medium duty units are economical and engineered for situations when a true industrial grade product isn’t required. Our heavy duty units are designed to hold up over years of use when an industrial strength auger is mandatory. All units are engineered to handle the higher hydraulic operating pressures of today’s mini excavators. No third drain lines are required on any of our drive units. We build auger mounts for all brands of mini excavators in styles that work with pin-on buckets, OEM quick couplers, after market couplers and custom mounting brackets. Our mounts include the cradle function to hold the drive unit and auger bit secure when moving the machine. Output shafts are available in 2” hexagon, 2-1/2” hexagon and 2-9/16” round.

Medium duty single flight, the most cost-effective solution
Medium duty double flight, standard type auger
Heavy duty double flight for tougher conditions that call for a more aggressive bit
Specialty bits offered include tree augers with a two diameter design to provide a tapered hole for tree planting. Rock augers with carbide bullet tooth, hard-faced wear parts, a heavy duty center tube and thicker flighting are also available. Flighting on all Premier augers is fully welded to the center tube, not stitch welded like some of our competitors. Our stock standard for auger bits is 4’ overall length, but we also build 3’, 5’ and 6’ custom augers to meet specific needs. Connecting collars are available in 2” round, 2-9/16” round and 2” hexagon.
