How The BravePro Towable Auger Compares To Other Auger Options

Landscapers, rental businesses, and outdoor professionals evaluating augers usually face this question: should I use a handheld gas auger, a compact skid steer attachment, or invest in a full towable hydraulic unit built for serious hole digging?

Here's the honest comparison:

Feature Handheld 2-Person Gas Auger ($150-$500) Skid Steer Hydraulic Auger Attachment ($2,000-$3,500) BravePro Towable Hydraulic Auger ($4,780)
Torque Low, operator-limited Moderate, depends on carrier 336 ft. lbs
Max Hole Depth 30" to 36" Varies by carrier and bit 48"
Max Hole Width 6" to 12" 6" to 24", depends on bit 6" to 18"
Power Source Small 2-stroke engine Requires skid steer or compact loader Honda GX390, 13 HP, self-contained
Speed Control Fixed speed Variable, tied to carrier Variable speed with reverse
Terrain Adaptability Limited, operator strength dependent Good, but needs carrier access Pivoting head for uneven terrain
Safety Features Minimal Depends on carrier Emergency stop button, transport lock assist lever
Towability None, hand carried Requires separate carrier transport 2" hitch coupler, tow bar and cables included

Why The BravePro Towable Auger Is Worth The Investment

This isn't just an auger, it's a self-contained hydraulic digging system that doesn't require a skid steer or loader to operate, and it digs deeper and wider than handheld units by a wide margin.

The BravePro Towable Auger specifically addresses the needs of landscapers, rental businesses, and contractors who need to drill deep, wide holes across multiple sites without hauling a skid steer to every job.

Real Digging Power. With 336 ft. lbs. of torque and a Honda GX390 engine, this auger drills holes 6 to 18 inches wide and up to 48 inches deep, handling soil conditions that would stall a handheld unit or require far more physical effort from the operator.

Built For Operator Safety And Control

One-hand handle height adjustment and adjustable latches keep the operator in position without extra steps

Emergency engine stop button and transport lock assist lever protect the operator during operation and setup

Pivoting head allows drilling on uneven terrain without repositioning the whole unit

Engineered For Reliable Hydraulic Performance

9-gallon hydraulic capacity keeps the machine running cooler through extended use

Hydraulic sight glass makes checking fluid levels quick and simple

Concealed and protected hoses from valve to motor reduce the risk of damage on the jobsite

Real Savings

Self-contained hydraulic power eliminates the need to rent or haul a skid steer just to run an auger attachment

Deeper, wider holes in fewer passes reduce labor time significantly compared to handheld units

Tow bar and cable setup allows quick transport between job sites without a separate trailer

Free shipping and no sales tax through Summit Forge Supply keeps the total cost down compared to buying elsewhere and paying tax and freight separately

The Bottom Line Landscapers, rental businesses, and contractors who need to drill deep, wide holes across multiple sites can't afford a handheld auger that limits depth and width, or the hassle of hauling a skid steer just to run an attachment. The BravePro Towable Auger is built with real hydraulic torque, operator safety features, and simple tow-behind transport, so it gets the hole dug right the first time. For anyone setting posts, planting trees, or prepping foundations at scale, this is the auger built for the job.
