I also assume your tractor has the gpm for the auger.

My B2400 has 6.5 gpm rating for the hydraulics. Those 2 man towable hydraulic augers typically use about 10hp gas engines and low flow low speed high torque hydraulic motors which make them a perfect fit for use with smaller tractors.

Reason I asked is I thought that most Skid steer hydraulic attachments needed at least 11gpm.

Thats true, the hphd build in this thread used a hydraulic motor off of a towable phd, maybe 5-10 gpm and 12'' auger max.,

sorry it took me so long to get back but i looked and there is no model number on the auger head. But if you are interested in using the same head try calling the manufacture of the auger (little beaver) i put a link to their page in one of the first few post. I would think they would sell you a motor. If not i also bought a "ground hog" brand auger, that motor didn't have a manufacture name on it ether but you may want to call them and see if they will sell you a motor. here is the link to them. Ground Hog ? HD99 Hydraulic Earthdrill

Just an Fyi. i have both the little beaver and ground hog augers and the ground hog was a much nicer unit. never had any trouble with it and their customer service was also great. i found the ground hog brand easier to use and more balanced making it easier to lift out of your holes.

Good luck and feel free to ask any other questions.
