Drill Deeper, Faster, and Smarter: Sibom’s Ultimate skid steer earth auger Turns Every CAT, Bobcat, and Kubota Loader into a High-Torque Ground-Drilling Powerhouse

When the project spec calls for hundreds of perfectly plumb post holes, nothing kills profit like waiting on a tow-behind drill that bogs in clay or snaps shear bolts in fractured shale. That headache vanishes the moment you pin on Sibom’s premium skid steer auger attachment. One quick-tach mount, two flat-face couplers, and the hydraulic muscle already living in your loader—whether it’s a CAT 262D3, Bobcat T770, or Kubota SVL97—becomes a laser-accurate, zero-stall drilling rig built for everything from vineyard trellis posts to 24-inch deck footings.

Why a Direct-or-Planetary Choice Matters

Instead of forcing you into a single drive style, Sibom offers both direct drive auger and planetary drive auger power heads on the same bolt-pattern back plate. The direct unit spins faster for shallow 6–12-inch fencing runs in loamy soil; the heavy-duty planetary uses a three-stage gearbox that pumps relentless torque at low RPM, turning a 48 inch digging auger through caliche or frost. Whichever drive you choose, internal hubs ride on tapered rollers, not sleeve bushings, preventing side-load wobble that would otherwise enlarge your post hole auger well beyond spec.

Hydraulics feed through steel-braid hoses finished in zero-leak flat faced coupler auger fittings—snap them into CAT high-flow, Bobcat standard, or Kubota low-flow ports and the motor self-compensates, making this the ultimate plug and play auger for mixed fleets or rental yards.

High-Strength Bits Built for All Terrain

Every Sibom flight starts as quenched-and-tempered bar then CNC-formed into a continuous spiral auger bit. Thicker center shafts resist column flex during deep pulls, and optional auger extension compatible collars push working depth past eight feet without sacrificing alignment. Need to chew through limestone? Swap to a carbide tooth auger bit or fully armored bullet tooth auger head. Drilling frosty fill? A specialized frost drilling auger bullet combo explodes ice lenses while shedding minimal heat. Loose sand outside Phoenix? Order the vented sand drilling auger flight that lets fines escape without stalling. Every bit attaches via a universal hub auger coupler, so your entire inventory of legacy bits from other brands rides the Sibom drive minutes after uncrating.

Stability, Safety, and Precision in One Frame

A patented anti swing auger knuckle links the drive box to the quick-tach, damping pendulum whip the moment you lift from the hole. Pair that with a locking collar auger clamp and the entire assembly rides home without scarring barn doors or truck beds. Because the gearbox sits inside a wraparound cage, stray rebar never nicks hoses—a must on urban sign installation auger jobs where half the holes intersect abandoned utilities.

Operators love the forward reverse auger valve: flick left to drill, flick right to back-spin and clear spoil or free a jam around tree roots. That cycle, plus built-in flow cushioning, delivers the smooth power transmission auger feel that distinguishes Sibom from jerk-start budget drives.

Built to Live Longer Than the Loader

Torque rings, output shafts, even the planetary sun gear forge from 4140 steel and run in a bath of 90-weight. Two O-ring faces and a case-hardened bush keep dust out and oil in, turning the head into a truly low maintenance auger—500-hour oil interval, twenty-second fill port, done. The deck wears double-wall side plates, meaning dropped bits can’t egg the housing, and a zinc-rich primer sealed under powder coat laughs at fertilizer acids in dairy yards. Contractors call it a long life auger bit system because two seasons in, the gearbox still feels showroom tight.

One Drive, Infinite Job Tickets

• Fence post auger runs crush 80 cedar stakes an hour on a Kubota SSV.

• Telecom post auger crews yank 12-inch holes between 5G repeaters in downtown alleys—no truck rig required.

• A CAT 299 with foundation auger skid steer kit drills 30-inch sockets for solar array piers, recording laser-plumb deviations under ¼-inch.

• Orchards swap to a 9-inch tree planting auger head and punch 300 holes a day without shovels.

• DOT crews keep a rocky-soil highway guardrail auger bit on the trailer, cutting new posts after fender-crash replacements in under ten minutes.

• Winter outfitters bolt on an ice-tip and turn the drive into a 24-inch ice fishing auger skid steer for resort roadbeds on frozen lakes.

This list barely scratches the surface—utility contractors, rental houses, ranch owners, septic installers all call the Sibom drive the most versatile auger attachment they’ve ever owned.

Productivity You Can See on the Clock

A three-man crew with a PTO tractor averaged 42 seconds per 10-inch hole in heavy clay. Swapping to one Bobcat T76 with a Sibom high torque auger drive cut the cycle to 16 seconds—including retract and swing. That’s not marketing fluff, it’s field-meter time-stamps. Less idle, more holes, tighter schedules: exactly why we stamp the housing “high efficiency auger drive.”

Plus, each hole lands within ⅛-inch thanks to a high precision auger bearing stack, eliminating auger drift that forces post-wiggling later. Groundskeepers call the system a precision grass grapple equivalent for soil penetration.

Easy on the Operator, Easy on the Shop

Daily service equals one grease gun shot at a single Zerk. The easy service auger filter sits above the loader tilt plane—no need to unpin. Bit changes take one locking pin; a reversible auger drive stub lets you keep teeth facing fresh edges twice as long. All parts ship in 48 hours, and the entire gearbox drops with four bolts if you ever need bench work.

Rental yards especially value the quick swap—return the unit Saturday night clogged with mud, power-wash, pop one pin, slide in a fresh bit, send it back out Sunday morning. That’s cost effective grapple logic applied to drilling rigs.

When the crate lands, drop your bucket, latch the head, snap the couplers, and watch your CAT, Bobcat, or Kubota drive its own drill rig—no secondary engine, no trailer hitch, no post-hole sore backs. One attachment, dozens of soil types, infinite hole counts. That’s Sibom’s promise: high strength auger attachment engineering tuned for the real-world demands of professional contractors and production-minded farmers alike.

Clamp the collar, engage the hydraulics, feel the torque. Drill deeper. Drill faster. Drill smarter. Sibom has the drive.
