You know what’s one thing that many skid steer auger attachments are used for? Planting trees. To that point, we sell wide, tree-planting bits that are specifically designed to dig holes wide enough for root balls.But what’s one thing that a skid steer auger drive conventionally can’t do? Dig out old stumps - which is unfortunate, because orchards and tree farms understandably will have an occasional need to do just that.Now, we sell skid steer attachments that are specifically designed for easy compatibility with most major makes and models of skid steers, so you can probably drop your auger drive off your skid steer and outfit your machine with one of our stump buckets or stump grinders.But you don’t need to do that, whether or not you have a stump to grind.
