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 Many auger drives on the market rely on outdated designs that wear out over time, leading to shaft failures and costly downtime.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.

Purchased this attachment about 4 months ago, very nice quality and is much better than other chain drive units. I am very pleased with how the unit works and won't hesitate to buy again from skid steer solutions. Thanks, Jordan

Ordering was easy and shipping was on time and product delivered in good shape. Easy to set up and perform the run in procedure. After that the auger and 12" bit performed with no problems drilling several holes for fencing in very rocky conditions in the hills of Arkansas. Good heavy piece of equipment.

I bought the Eterra 3500 auger . Skid Steer Solutions was very very helpful in me making the right decision in what unit to buy. It came to me just like they said it would, in every respect. This is a great company to buy from. They are straight foreword, honest, very knowledgeable and extremely helpful both before and after the sale. It's good to know outfits like this are still around.
