Digga 3DSS Specifications
Choosing the Mount for Your 3DSS
Digga builds the mounting plate to suit the machine, so the make and model go on the order. Terex and ASV frames carry a factory upcharge.
HALO Alignment Kit
Every 3DSS option on this page can be taken with No HALO or with the HALO Alignment Kit. The kit is not a bolt-on: the drive arrives with HALO built into its hood, with the extension cable and in-cab 12V plug. A ring of green lights means plumb and red guides the operator back — which is what replaces walking round the machine to eyeball the auger. Retrofitting an older drive is a separate HALO Retrofit Kit.
Where the 3DSS Sits in Digga's Range
Against the 2DSS, the 3DSS adds 26 percent more turning force, from a flow range of 10-26 to 10-30 GPM. The 4DSS above it is another 16 percent up, on the same 30 inch earth ceiling. Max speed is 98 RPM. Speed and torque trade against each other, so the smaller drives in this range spin faster and the larger ones pull harder.

Which Mini Loaders Fit the 3DSS?
Fitment comes down to the mounting plate and the auxiliary flow. The 3DSS needs 10 GPM to reach rated torque, which most compact utility loaders provide.
Digga 3DSS Mini Skid Steer Package Questions, Answered
Why do you need my machine make and model?
Because the mounting plate is specific to it. Mini loader plates are not standardised the way a skid steer quick attach is, so Digga builds the plate for the machine. Terex and ASV frames carry a factory upcharge.
Is the 3DSS too much drive for a mini loader?
No. It is rated from 10 GPM, and the limit on a mini loader is usually the machine's weight rather than the drive. Bigger augers pull the front end around before the drive runs out of torque.
What size holes can I drill?
Up to 30 inches in earth and 24 inches in clay or shale, per Digga. On a light machine the practical ceiling is often lower, because the loader has to lift the loaded auger out.
Which bits fit?
A4 earth auger bits, AB4 bolt-on auger bits and RC4 rock and earth combo bits on the 2 inch hex hub. Round-shaft bits need auger adapters.
Can I use the 3DSS on a skid steer later?
The drive is the same; the mount is not. Moving it to a full-size skid steer means a universal quick attach frame, which is sold as its own package.
How is shipping calculated?
Shipping is calculated at checkout from the weight of your order and your delivery address, and the charge is shown before you complete the order.
On delivery: check the package before you sign. Note any damage on the delivery receipt at the time of delivery, photograph it, and email support@eskidsteer.com — a clean signature makes a carrier claim much harder to win.
