Virnig High Torque Auger Drive For Skid Steer

Introducing the Virnig High Torque Auger Drive for Skid Steer — a purpose-built solution for serious drilling on heavy-duty jobs. Designed for professionals who demand maximum torque, reliability, and precise bit engagement, it features a 2" hex output and a 20% torque boost to tackle the toughest soils and roots.

• Output Type: 2" hex output delivers efficient torque transfer with a secure, wobble-free connection to auger bits; attachment is quick and reliable with a pin-based mechanism for fast bit changes.
• Planetary Reduction: Planetary gear reduction provides higher torque, improved efficiency, and longer life compared with traditional chain-drive augers, reducing maintenance and downtime.
• High Torque Performance: Torque scales with hydraulic pressure—from 2230 ft-lbs at 2000 PSI up to 3905 ft-lbs at 3500 PSI—giving you sustained power in hard soil and rocky conditions.
• Bi-Directional Rotation: Supports auger rotation in both directions, aiding debris clearing and easier withdrawal in tight or obstructed work areas.
• Top-Housing Hose Routing: Hoses routed from the top of the housing to minimize hose wear and enable deeper drilling reach without interference.
• Motor & Protection: Premium Parker motor equipped with hydraulic pressure relief protection, guarding the system against pressure spikes and extending service life.
• Bit Compatibility: Compatible with auger bits up to 36" in diameter for standard drilling and up to 18" for rock augers, providing versatile performance across job sites.
• Recommended Flow Rate: Optimized for 15–27 GPM hydraulic flow, balancing speed and torque for various soils and drilling tasks.
• Dimensions & Weight: Overall height 20.5", width 47.3", depth 37.0" with an approximate weight of 305 lb, delivering a stable and robust setup on a skid steer.

This high-torque design is tailored to professional use cases where tough ground, tree roots, and compacted soil demand extra power and dependable performance. The combination of planetary reduction, hex output, and a pressurized-protected hydraulic motor translates to faster drilling times, reduced maintenance, and greater control on demanding sites. If you’re upgrading a skid steer drilling workflow, this Virnig drive offers a clear advantage in torque, durability, and ease of use.
