Picked up a new auger attachment for the CAT 239D skid steer. It didn't come with any instructions, so let's get it unpacked, assembled, and dig a test hole. We'll be using this auger to set the poles for the shipping container barn.
After watching some other auger maintenance videos, that gear box does indeed require oil. I don't know if mine came with oil or not. I'll open it up after the holidays and let you know.
It kind of looks like mine I bought at an auction last week the brand I got is Great Bear thank for the video I’ll make sure to tighten the couplers before use!
When it's sitting on the ground with no bit, so at a slight angle, I put as much oil as it could hold. Used a little over a half bottle of standard gear oil, but I don't know if it had any oil in it already.
You afraid to talk! Lol. Say something, give some feedback and details. Something. What brand is it, those bits look like drilling in rocky soil. Did you hit rock or was it just dirt ? ?.. Not much useful information here.
