"Whether that's direct-to-you shipping, transparent pricing or expanding our product line to fill a gap in the market. Our design team brought the award-winning features of our auger lineup to mini excavator operators looking to maximize their fleet versatility."

The new auger has a drilling depth of 50 in. with a standard bit, or up to 86 in. with optional extension.

Self-Balanced Alignment

Like other auger offerings, the MEX auger attachment features a unique joint between the mounting frame and drive unit to ensure straight, vertical holes, even while working on contoured, sloped or uneven ground.
