Auger storage rack?

countrybumpkin · Dec 18, 2017

AnyOne built there own rack and storage system for a hydraulic SSQA auger drive and bits? Only thing I've come across is "Auger Rack" which is a really nice design, just curios if anyone has come up with anything different.

We just had ours on racks with lengths of pipe to set them over so they pointed up. Of course, they were stored outside as we had 2 ss augers and 5 two man Groundhogs, so there were quite a few auger bits around. Storing them that way they didn't fill up with water and it was easy to see if any needed teeth replaced, or other repairs. The last probably isn't important unless you have crews that are, shall we say, lax about reporting problems.

Thanks, I'm looking to keep the augers up right, so I can change out the augers with out having to Handle a 150 lbs auger alone.

I'm probably going to end up building something very similar to the pic I guess, I like the idea of being able to move the whole setup around or set on a trailer or in a truck if I need to transport it.

We only have 2 augers. We store the spare on the post hold digger stand. Both the top latch for the auger and the top for the digger rack are gravity fed for ease of operation. The tongue to move the stand around in the barn will slide up into the lower square tube for storage or for hooking up to the tractor.
