Assembly &
installation
Prepare the Vehicle
Read and understand the manual for your vehicle before assembling or installing the Auger
Bucket. The skid-steer must be equipped with a universal quick attach hitch and auxiliary
hydraulics. The use of the Auger Bucket may require the addition of counterweights
to ensure the combined weight of the bucket and the material does not exceed the rated
capacity of your vehicle.
Select the Right Auger Bucket
MIXING AUGER BUCKET
• The mixing auger should be used anytime you are mixing your own material. Turn the
auger in reverse for mixing and then forward for discharge. This auger has the wear
rubber reversed for the first half of the auger (motor end). For added durability, this
auger also has 40% more hardware than a discharge auger.
DISCHARGE AUGER BUCKET
• The discharge auger should be used for dispensing material(s). The rubber flights have
wear rubber on the discharge side.
STEP 1: Remove the chutes and hydraulic hoses from inside the Auger Bucket.
STEP 2: Remove the dust plugs from the hydraulic motor ports.
STEP 3: Locate the hydraulic fittings from the chute box, and install them into the motor.
STEP 4: Tighten the fittings into the motor, and install the hydraulic hoses provided.
STEP 5: Install the Auger Bucket by following your vehicle operator’s manual for
installing an attachment. Be sure to securely latch the Auger Bucket to the
skid-steer.
STEP 6: Use the quick couplers to connect the hydraulic hoses to the vehicle’s auxiliary
hydraulics.
Make sure the Auger Bucket is securely latched to the skid-
steer. Failure to do so could result in separation of the
attachment from the skid-steer.
w A R N i N G
All hoses and fittings used to connect the Auger Bucket should be thoroughly
cleaned before use. Care should be taken to see that no thread sealer or metal
chips are forced to the inside of the joints when connections are being tightened.

Personal protection
equipment including
hard hat, safety glasses,
safety shoes, and gloves
are recommended during
assembly, installation,
operation, maintenance,
service, removal, or
movement of the Auger
Bucket.
D A N G E R
Do not exceed the vehicle's rated operating load.
if necessary, use sufficient counterweights.
Here is an easy formula for calculating weight:
1/2 yard bucket & material = empty bucket weight (380 lbs.) + 2,000 lbs.
3/4 yard bucket & material = empty bucket weight (380 lbs.) + 3,000 lbs.
NOTE
C A U T i O N
Do not use the discharge auger for mixing. Running this
auger in the reverse direction for mixing will result in
extreme premature wear of the rubber flighting.
