Description
xEterra Earth Auger Bit for Skid Steer
Eterra earth auger bits are built for all-around earth drilling in soil, clay and mixed ground. Every bit ships with a 2" hex drive, so it mounts directly to any Eterra auger drive without an adapter. Available in eight diameters from 4" to 36" from Skid Steer Store.
Choosing Your Bit Diameter
| Diameter | Typical Use | Minimum Drive |
|---|---|---|
| 4" | Soil sampling, small stakes, irrigation | 2500 |
| 6" | Standard wood fence posts | 2500 |
| 9" | Heavy fence posts, sign posts, small footings | 2500 |
| 12" | Deck footings, pergola posts, tree planting | 2500 |
| 18" | Structural footings, larger trees, light poles | 2500 |
| 24" | Commercial footings, mature tree planting | 3500 |
| 30" | Large-diameter footings and pilings | 3500 |
| 36" | Maximum diameter work | 3500 or 4500 |
The Eterra 2500 turns bits up to 30"; the 3500 and 4500 handle up to 36". Larger diameters in hard or rocky ground draw more torque, so size the drive to the worst conditions you expect, not the average.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these fit my auger drive?
All Eterra bits use a 2" hex drive, standard across every Eterra auger drive. For another manufacturer's drive, add an Eterra hex auger adapter.
What size bit do I need for a fence post?
A common rule is roughly three times the post diameter. A 4x4 post typically takes a 9" or 12" bit depending on soil and how much concrete you want around it.
Can my 2500 drive turn a 36" bit?
No. The 2500 is rated to 30". Step up to the 3500 or 4500 for 36".
What about rocky ground?
Standard bits handle soil, clay and mixed ground. For consistently rough conditions, ask Skid Steer Store about tooth and pilot upgrades.
