Available in 150mm, 200mm, 250mm and 300mm diameters, these augers provide a practical solution for fencing, gate posts, tree planting, landscaping and general earth drilling applications.
Designed to suit the new Paddock 1.2T (PMEX12Y) and 1.7T (PMEX17Y) Yanmar Diesel Mini Excavators, these augers offer a convenient way to expand the versatility of your machine. Featuring robust steel construction and a choice of four drilling diameters, they're ideal for contractors, landscapers, farmers and property owners tackling a wide range of post hole and earth drilling projects.
Paddock™ Excavator Augers – 150mm, 200mm, 250mm & 300mm
The Paddock™ Excavator Auger range is designed to make drilling post holes and preparing planting locations faster, easier and more consistent than manual digging.
Available in four popular diameters, these augers allow operators to select the appropriate hole size for their project, from smaller fence posts through to larger gate posts and tree planting applications.
When paired with a compatible auger drive attachment, the excavator provides the hydraulic power and positioning control required for efficient earth drilling, helping reduce manual labour and improve productivity on site.

Four Auger Sizes Available
The Paddock™ Excavator Auger range is available in four popular sizes, allowing operators to choose the most suitable drilling diameter for the job.
- 150mm Auger – Ideal for smaller fence posts, garden installations and narrow post holes.
- 200mm Auger – A versatile option for general fencing, property maintenance and landscaping work.
- 250mm Auger – Suitable for larger fence posts, gate posts and general earth drilling applications.
- 300mm Auger – Ideal for larger post holes, tree planting and landscaping projects requiring a wider drilling diameter.
Having a choice of auger sizes makes it easy to select the appropriate attachment for different projects without unnecessarily excavating oversized holes.
Designed for the New Paddock Yanmar Mini Excavators
These augers are designed for use with the latest generation of Paddock mini excavators, including:
- Paddock PMEX12Y – 1.2 Tonne Mini Excavator with 14hp Yanmar 3-cylinder diesel engine.
- Paddock PMEX17Y – 1.7 Tonne Mini Excavator with 15hp Yanmar 3-cylinder diesel engine.
Both excavators offer compact dimensions and hydraulic operating systems, making them well suited to a wide range of excavation, landscaping and property maintenance tasks.
When fitted with a compatible hydraulic auger drive, these machines can be used to drill holes for fencing, posts, planting and general property improvement projects.
Important: These augers require a compatible auger drive and connection arrangement. Confirm compatibility with your excavator and auger drive before ordering.
Heavy-Duty Steel Construction
The Paddock™ Excavator Augers feature robust steel construction designed for demanding earth drilling applications.
The auger flighting is designed to cut into suitable ground and help carry loosened soil out of the hole as the auger rotates.
This makes powered augers particularly useful when drilling multiple holes across fencing lines, landscaping projects or rural properties.
Actual drilling performance will depend on soil conditions, auger diameter, excavator capability and the hydraulic auger drive being used.
Ideal for Fencing & Gate Posts
Installing fencing and gate posts often requires multiple holes to be drilled at consistent diameters and suitable depths.
Using an excavator-mounted auger can significantly reduce the physical effort involved compared with digging holes manually.
The choice of 150mm, 200mm, 250mm and 300mm augers provides flexibility for different fencing projects, including residential fencing, rural property fencing, garden structures and gate installations.
For contractors and property owners completing larger fencing projects, powered earth drilling can help improve efficiency and reduce time spent preparing post holes.
Perfect for Landscaping & Tree Planting
Beyond fencing applications, the Paddock™ Excavator Augers are also useful for landscaping, gardening and tree planting projects.
The larger diameter augers can assist with preparing planting holes for suitable trees, shrubs and landscaping installations, while smaller augers are useful for garden structures and posts.
With the excavator providing the positioning and lifting capability, operators can work across multiple drilling locations without the physical demands of manually operating a handheld earth auger.
Typical Applications
- Residential fence post holes
- Rural and agricultural fencing
- Gate post installation
- Tree and shrub planting
- Landscaping and garden construction
- Garden structures and supports
- Farm and acreage maintenance
- Property improvement projects
- General earth drilling

Selection & Use
Select the appropriate auger diameter for the required hole size and intended application. The four available sizes provide flexibility for smaller fencing projects through to larger post hole and planting applications.
Ground conditions, soil type, underground obstructions, auger diameter and excavator hydraulic performance will affect drilling speed and capability.
Before drilling, always check the work area for underground services including electrical cables, water pipes, gas lines and communications infrastructure.
Ensure the auger is correctly connected to a compatible hydraulic drive and that all attachment locking and retaining mechanisms are properly secured before operation.
Never operate the auger near personnel or attempt to clear soil or debris from the auger while it is rotating.
Operate the attachment within the limits of the excavator, auger drive and attachment system, and follow the relevant manufacturer's operating and safety instructions.
Note: Specifications and compatibility may vary depending on the excavator and auger drive configuration. Confirm the required connection before ordering.
