Or you can do what I did which was just buy a wheel motor and mount it onto my bits. Pictures are on the net and I can point you the way if interested.

15 GPM into the motor that woodlandfarms posted will turn the hyd motor at 361 rpm, and that is lower than the PTO speed of 540.
If your auger gear ratio is about 1.5 : 1 you can expect a speed of about 248 rpm.
It should work quite well, and you can reverse the auger if you get stuck.
