Hi, we generally recommend at least a 4 to 5t machine to operate a rock auger. Plenty of down pressure is required to break into the rock. A 3pt linkage won’t have the required down pressure required to get the best out of the auger. If you require any more info feel free to reach out at 1300 4 DIGGA.
Is it practical to use this type of auger on a tractor 3 point setup with no hydraulic down pressure?
