About this product
Overview
The 4DDS is Digga's high flow planetary skid steer auger attachment for high flow skid steers and compact track loaders of 5,500 - 8,400 lbs: 3,557 ft-lbs at 3,000 PSI, 10-36 GPM, a 2 inch hex shaft, and a universal quick attach frame package with 87 inch hoses and flush-face disconnects. Drive Only comes first for anyone replacing a drive on a frame they already own.
Key Features of the Digga 4DDS Skid Steer Auger Package
- Torque 3,557 ft-lbs at 3,000 PSI, 4,150 ft-lbs at 3,500 PSI
- Recommended flow 10-36 GPM, with 10 GPM the floor for rated torque
- Max speed 108 RPM — the figure that decides how fast a small-diameter hole goes down
- 2 inch hex output shaft taking A4 earth auger bits, AB4 bolt-on auger bits and RC4 rock and earth combo bits; a 2-9/16 inch round shaft is available as an option
- Drills to 40 inches in earth and 24 inches in clay or shale, subject to ground conditions
- The gearbox goes down the hole, so drilling depth is not lost to drive height
- 2-piece shaft design carries side load without putting it through the bearings
- Pressure relief valve included — integrated into the motor rather than a bulky external valve block
- HALO Alignment Kit optional on every configuration
- 5 year gearbox and 3 year motor warranty for drilling use, plus lifetime shaft pull-out cover
Digga 4DDS Specifications
Choosing How the 4DDS Mounts
A drive working well below the machine needs more hose than the 87 inch set, and Digga's TPE hose kits come in 14 ft and 16 ft for that. Tell us if the package is for TPE work and we will confirm hose length with the order.
HALO Alignment Kit
Every 4DDS 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 the second person standing at the hole calling the auger plumb. Retrofitting an older drive is a separate HALO Retrofit Kit.
Where the 4DDS Sits in Digga's Range
Against the 4DSS, the 4DDS adds 9 percent more turning force, from a flow range of 10-30 to 10-36 GPM. The 4DDS is the largest drive on the 2 inch hex shaft. Above it Digga moves to the 5DDS and a 2.5 inch shaft, which means a different bit family. Max speed is 108 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 4DDS Package
- Digga 4DDS auger drive
- Universal skid steer frame and 75mm linkage (HI-000128K), or the TPE extension frame, unless you choose Drive Only
- 87 inch hoses with flush-face quick disconnects on the frame package
- HALO where the HALO Alignment Kit is selected
- Not included: auger bits, and extensions if you need to drill deeper than the bit reaches
Which Loaders Fit the 4DDS?
The 4DDS package mounts on the universal skid steer quick attach plate, so brand does not decide fitment — flow does. This is a high flow drive: it needs a high flow auxiliary circuit and at least 10 GPM.
Digga 4DDS Skid Steer Package Questions, Answered
Will the 4DDS run on my loader's standard flow?
No — the 4DDS is the high flow drive in this range and needs a high flow circuit from 10 GPM.
What size holes will the 4DDS drill?
Digga rates it to 40 inches in earth and 24 inches in clay or shale. Ground conditions decide what is sensible on the day — the same drive that turns a 40 inch auger in loam will struggle at half that in hard clay.
What is the TPE frame for?
It replaces the fixed frame with a telescopic extension so the drive travels below machine reach. It is bought for piling and deep footings, where it removes the need to stack bit extensions.
Can I put a bigger auger bit on the 4DDS?
Only up to the diameters above. Beyond that the drive stalls rather than breaks, but you lose the day. If you need consistently larger holes, the drive above the 4DDS in the range is the answer.
Which bits fit?
A4 earth auger bits, AB4 bolt-on auger bits and RC4 rock and earth combo bits — all on the 2 inch hex hub. If your existing bits have the 2-9/16 inch round hub, auger adapters convert between the two.
Can the 4DDS run a concrete mixing bowl?
Yes. Digga's concrete mixing bowl runs off the same drive and frame, which is why a lot of contractors buy the package rather than the drive alone.
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.
