DESCRIPTION
The Danuser EP Auger Drive pairs a Danuser‑manufactured planetary gearbox with a high‑pressure hydraulic motor rated up to 3,500 PSI to deliver more torque than previous EP models. The one‑piece output spindle eliminates weak points and is backed by a lifetime warranty against pull‑out for long‑term confidence in demanding work. Service is fast thanks to easily accessible planetary check and fill plugs, and every unit ships with an auger retaining bolt for secure bit retention. Compatible with skid steer loaders delivering 15–30 GPM, the EP drive handles augers up to 36″ diameter, making it a powerful, versatile solution for construction, fencing, utilities, landscaping, and farm operations. Built for serious torque and low‑maintenance performance.
