Best way to mount auger on UTV?
« on: Oct 12, 2016, 09:11 PM »
Just wondering what ppl have made or bought to mount their auger to their UTV?  I bought a Polaris ranger 570 and Was hoping to somehow mount to the front of the ranger? Any pics would be great!

The digger mounts are awesome.

Im interested in the same thing, putting the auger on the front. I looked at the digger mount but its only 22in w so it woulnt be long enough to reach s to s on my front bumper.

I use my gun rack i have on the front of my wheeler. You should be able to mount one on either side of the box.

I've mounted my Digger on the drivers side of the rear box using two 1 3/8" freeze plugs. The auger head faces the front of the machine which puts the release toward the inside of the box, but I can live with that.

Special mount for Polaris

Wouldn't even consider it.  Great way to bend the shaft and cause internal gearbox damage.  If it doesn't support the motor there's a problem, especially with that model 30, it has a very heavy engine.
