Abstract
A hydraulically actuated auger is adapted for mounting on a skid steer vehicle. The auger includes a hydraulic drive motor for driving the main drive shaft of the implement as well as an auxiliary drive shaft interconnected with the main shaft by multiple chain and sprocket drives disposed therebetween. An augering tool is mountable on one or the other of the output shafts of the implement. Use of the appropriate chain and sprocket drive with the hydraulic output of the drive motor permits variable speed settings for the hydraulic auger.
