I would probably guess that some of the larger hyd augers use a large hyd motor into a planetary gear housing and develop a lot of torque.
What all this means is that if you can round up all the parts at a reasonable price and have medium mechanical skills, you can do it.
Adapters can be purchased, built, etc.
Looking at the picture of the Power-Trac with home built auger, he used a large wheel motor with wheel hub and then bolted on a matching plate with matching holes and then welded a shaft adapter to fit an auger.
The adapter could be 2 in round stock, hex shape or square depending on the auger you have available.
This motor would be a good starting point. Reasonable price.
22.63 cu in DYNAMIC BMER-1-375-WS-T4 WHEEL MOTOR
Then add an adapter, maybe a wheel hub like this at 1 1/4 taper.
4 BOLT WHEEL HUB 1-1/4" TAPERED
Then bolt on a plate with the adapter you need.
Again the torque is based on the cu in and psi.
GPM's determine the speed.
