Digga North America Auger Drive (Skid Steer Loaders 1T to 2.5T)

Description

Planetary gear reduction converts auxiliary hydraulic flow into high rotational torque inside the Digga 2DSS-3-MF Auger Drive. Engineered for small skid steers from 1 to 2.5 metric tons, this powerhead spins earth bits through tough soils. The integrated motor requires adequate hydraulic cooling to prevent oil breakdown during hot summer digging cycles.

Encased in a heavy cast alloy steel housing, this gearbox withstands severe side loads and downforce from compact loader arms. The hydraulic motor operates on fluid flows between 6 and 16 GPM at pressures up to 3,500 PSI. Delivering maximum continuous output torque of 1,775 foot-pounds, the bare unboxed unit weighs 105 lbs net. Footprint dimensions measure 8 inches in diameter by 23 inches in height with industrial powder coat.

Key Features of Digga 2DSS-3-MF

Fencing contractors buy Digga 2DSS-3-MF powerheads for compact loader post hole digging and tree planting. Wholesale commercial auger pricing provides reliable planetary gear engineering that outlasts direct-drive hydraulic motors on tough jobsites.

• Planetary gear reduction multiplies motor torque for steady boring through tough soils
• Hydraulic motor accepts oil flow rates between 6 and 16 GPM
• Two-inch round output shaft couples to standard commercial auger bits
• Compact drive housing fits inside narrow trenches and congested worksites
• Cast steel construction withstands heavy crowd downforce from loader lift arms
• High-pressure shaft seals prevent internal hydraulic oil leaks in sandy conditions
• Built-in pressure relief protection safeguards internal gears against sudden stall spikes
• Integrated dual-axis cradle mount dampens powerhead swing during machine transport

Torque Load Runout Realities

Dynamometer bench testing demonstrates output shaft runout under 0.005 inches total indicator reading at full motor extension. The gearbox delivers 1,775 foot-pounds of continuous rotational torque at 3,000 PSI line pressure. Operating at 12 GPM flow produces a free spindle speed of 68 RPM, which drops to 45 RPM under heavy clay drag. When drilling bits encounter dense buried stone, motor circuit pressure spikes to 3,200 PSI, engaging the internal bypass valve to protect internal gear teeth.

Field Usability Service Demands

One technician can handle this 105-pound drive head during hitch installation. Hydraulic connections feature standard quick-disconnect ports for fast field coupling. The integrated hood protects hose connections from snagging on tree limbs. Do not mount this compact drive unit on high-flow loaders over 2.5 tons or use it with auger bits exceeding twenty-four inches in diameter.

• Check planetary gear oil level through the side inspection plug every thirty days
• Pump multi-purpose grease into the cradle pivot bushings every twenty operating hours
• Inspect hydraulic hose fittings each shift for weepage or physical abrasion against the frame

Factory Warranty Manifest Details

Digga backs this drive unit with a 3-Year warranty on the planetary gearbox and a 2-Year warranty on the hydraulic motor. The factory crate includes the 2DSS-3-MF powerhead, hydraulic hose kit with couplers, a linkage pin, and an operation manual. Auger bits and frame mounts require separate purchase.
