The list above is for reference. Hydraulic and mechanical compatibility (45mm pin mounting) is key.
Operating an auger carries high risk. Before drilling, ensure there are no underground utilities (gas, electric, water) in the area. Never place hands, feet, or loose clothing near the rotating auger. Ensure the auger bit is securely pinned to the drive unit.
The auger drive is a work attachment that converts the machine's hydraulic power (flow and pressure) into high torque, which is necessary to turn an auger bit and drill holes.

No, this is the auger drive (the hydraulic head unit) which includes the mounting bracket and hoses. The auger bits (flights), e.g., 980/A2023 or 980/A2039, are sold separately and selected based on the desired hole diameter.
2. What is the difference between this (980/A3596) and the 980/A4162 drive?This model (980/A3596) is a heavy-duty drive with 6000 Nm of torque, for larger machines (3CX, 8080) and bits up to 900 mm. The 980/A4162 is a much smaller drive (1500 Nm, max 300 mm) for micro/mini excavators (801x).
3. What does "2" Hexagon Drive" mean?It means the output shaft that the auger bit connects to has a standard, hexagonal profile (2 inches / ~51 mm). This is a common heavy-duty fitment for auger bits.
