Eterra Excavator and Backhoe Auger Drive Attachments Description
The Eterra Excavator Auger Drive is built to solve a common problem operators face—shaft pullout. Many auger drives on the market rely on outdated designs that wear out over time, leading to shaft failures and costly downtime. Eterra eliminates this issue with a planetary drive system, a gear setup that evenly distributes torque across multiple gears instead of relying on a single weak point. This design provides smoother power transfer, reduces wear, and extends the life of the drive, making it a more durable and efficient choice for serious digging applications. To further reinforce reliability, Eterra integrates a heavy-duty gearbox and a large thrust plate. The gearbox protects internal components from excessive stress, ensuring the auger drive can handle tough conditions without failure. The large thrust plate plays a critical role by evenly distributing the weight and pressure of the auger, preventing unnecessary strain on the drive system. Together, these features make the Eterra Auger Drive one of the most secure and long-lasting options available, built for operators who need equipment that won’t let them down.

Unable to use due to incomplete order. Made several attempts to get update on item needed for unit to be used with no luck. Was told that it should ship any day on several occasions over past month. Actually had to forfeit work that it was purchased to do.

I'm very pleased with my purchase. From my first inquiries to date I've had nothing but excellent service and cooperation. I had to have a special mount adapter made for my specific purpose and I couldn't be happier with the product and it's performance. This auger will easily drill a perfect post hole 4 ft deep in a minute and all I have to do is move a few levers. It took me days of back breaking work using a two man gas auger to put in fence posts around my pasture. If I hit a rock it got stuck. If this auger sticks I can just reverse it and it comes right out. This is well worth the price for the work it saves. Wish I had one years ago.

If you do any sort of fencing,piers, or anything you need a cylinder hole for this is the way to go. I purchased the Eterra 2500 unit for my kx91-3 and I more than impressed with the machine and auger I've put thousands of feet of split rail fencing in with this unit as well as piers. I was skeptical about putting an 18" bit on the auger for the piers especially being in the northeast in the mountains this soil is very boney. But that auger and machine blasted out holes with that 18" bit no problem. I would buy this auger 10x over!

After spending a couple hours building quick coupler for my Komatsu pc20mr and getting it mounted up I put it thru the ringer and it worked flawlessly. Drilled holes for 700’ of fence posts in a day and a half on steep ground. Its very well built and can’t imagine going back to the old 2 man drill and being beat to death.

Needed a replacement for the drill motor on our JD product. Appears to be heavier and stronger an it was less money an better delivery than the JD replacement.
