Digga 3DSS Specifications
Slide Frame or Bucket Mount for the 3DSS?
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 climbing down to check the auger is standing straight. 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.
What Comes in the 3DSS Package
- Digga 3DSS auger drive
- Slide frame or bucket side mount, unless you choose Drive Only
- 87 inch hoses with flush-face quick disconnects
- HALO where selected
- Not included: auger bits and extensions
Which Tractors Fit the 3DSS?
Any tractor with a front end loader and an auxiliary hydraulic circuit that reaches 10 GPM. The mount attaches to the loader rather than the tractor, so the loader make and model is what we need at order.
Digga 3DSS Tractor Loader Package Questions, Answered
What is the difference between the slide frame and the bucket mount?
The slide frame carries the drive on a frame that lets it move sideways across the loader, so a hole can be lined up without repositioning the tractor. The bucket mount hangs the drive off the side of the bucket already on the loader, which is simpler and cheaper but fixes the drive in one position.
Will my tractor's hydraulics run the 3DSS?
It needs 10 GPM at the loader's auxiliary circuit to reach rated torque, and must not exceed 3,500 PSI at 16 GPM. Most loader-equipped tractors of any size clear the lower figure; check the upper one if your tractor is a large one.
Can I keep the bucket on?
With the bucket mount, that is the point — the drive hangs off the bucket. With the slide frame, the bucket comes off and the frame goes on.
What size holes will it drill?
Up to 30 inches in earth and 24 inches in clay or shale, per Digga. Post holes, tree planting and fence lines sit well inside that.
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.
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.
