I purchased a 1.5 ton mini-excavator auger off ebay this past spring for $300. I bolted the mounting bracket to an Amazon purchased $100 SSQA plate that I also use for lifting stuff (no heavy bucket reducing my lift capacity). I added a $600 3rd function valve and $100 in QD fittings and metric to NPT adapter fittings.
It works very well.
In the future I might make an adapter to put it on my tractor's backhoe for a little extra reach on rough terrain, but I'd need to add a rear remote and run some longer hoses.
