Hydraulic augers?

[Popgadget]

I got my 1DSS last week. Has anyone with a hydraulic auger figured out a good storage solution when not on the tractor?

I built a dolly with pressure treated lumber and heavy duty casters from HF.

Nice dolly. Any chance you could post a picture from a little further away? Specifically, showing how the ssqa plate is situated.
I bought an ssqa hydraulic auger last year, and had hoped that it would store easier than my previous 3 point octopus.
At the moment I am doing the brute force, totally disassembled approach.

the only reason i didnt get one for my tractor, which also has a rear hydraulic powerpack unit, is because i hardly use it anymore after i installed my fencing. Heck, if i need 1 hole dug to repair a fence i usually hand dig because hooking up auger takes so long. Now if i was constantly using one, id definitely go front mount.

Here you go. It is incredibly simple, the key is to secure the the gearbox to the saddle with a ratchet strap. I added an additional cross piece for augers to fit on it as shown in the first picture. It is so easy to mount that it isn’t even a consideration for drilling a single hole, unlike the old 3 point one.

Thanks for the additional pictures and info.
I'll give the dolly andratchet strap a try!

I wonder if you bolt some metal to block the forward movement of the power head like... (plz excuse lousy art)

you may be able to drop it down in one go without the strap?

I just bought this one on a farm auction a couple of weeks ago. No idea what brand. I have to get a global to SS adapter. I'm in OKC for work and can't wait to get back and get it all hooked up. $1200. They had 3 of them on the sale. Almost bought them all.

My solution

LP SA-20 hydro auger stand

The Landpride SA20 post hole auger was a must have tool for me. Re-connecting it to the tractor was a PTA. If you connect the hoses together to keep the couplers clean, the auger can free-wheel while trying to connect it. The motor/gearbox is attached to the SSQA frame by a block of steel that...

Yea, It'll take another $500 or so to get the adapter but I'm looking forward to punching some holes with it. Also getting a Limb Hog so hopefully I can 2 purpose the SSQA adapter.
