When you're up against the elements, rough terrain, or tough-to-tackle jobs, having the right gear on your skid steer is a must. Prime Attachments makes equipment that works as hard as you do. Our skid steer augers are built to chew through these seven common digging challenges without breaking a sweat.

1. Fence Post Installations

Got a perimeter to secure? Fence posts need to go up fast, and digging by hand just won’t cut it. One acre needs over 800 feet of fencing—meaning countless post holes. Whether you’re setting posts every 8 feet for livestock or running barbed wire across your land, a Prime Attachments skid steer post hole digger will knock out those holes in seconds, no elbow grease needed.

2. Digging Post Holes for Signs

Infrastructure projects, new roads, and bridges—all mean signs need to go up, and contractors need a tool they can trust. With a Prime Attach auger, you’re ready for whatever the terrain throws at you, from frozen ground to rocky soil. Put your auger to work, keep your project on time, and keep that budget in check.

3. Setting Building Piles

When it’s time to lay the foundation, construction pros know there’s no room for shortcuts. Piles distribute weight across a building’s base, and Prime Attach augers get those holes done right. For last-minute support piles or unexpected changes, our augers provide the quick, powerful solution every builder needs to keep things moving.

4. Planting Mature Trees

You’re not just planting saplings here—mature trees mean big holes, and those require serious power. A Prime Attach auger powers through even the toughest clay and rock-filled soil, making it easy to hit that sweet spot for width and depth so roots can thrive. Got boulders in the way? Pair it with our rock-removal attachments and let your auger keep working hard.

5. Drilling Deck Footings

Deck footings need clean holes at a consistent diameter and depth so the posts land where the layout says they should. A skid steer auger makes that repetitive digging faster while helping the crew keep each hole uniform from one footing to the next. Match the bit size to the footing requirements, square the machine to the mark, and check your depth as you work so the whole row stays on plan.

6. Mixing Garden Soil

Blending soil for large-scale gardening is back-breaking without the right tool. Bring in the auger, drop it in your soil mix, and let it spin. It’ll combine everything like a giant blender, giving you the perfect mix without hours of shovel work.

7. Unconventional Cement Mixer

Need to mix a batch of cement on the fly? Your auger’s got you covered. Just throw the ingredients in a pile, and let the auger churn up a solid mix. It’s this kind of versatility that makes a Prime Attach auger a must-have for any job site.
