Norteck 150mm Hydraulic Earth Auger for Mini Excavators

Drilling is not a job that tolerates guesswork: the wrong bit diameter, insufficient oil flow, or a loose pin can stall rotation or throw off hole alignment. This Norteck Ø150mm model is built for a precise task—drilling to a 1m depth on compact machines without overloading the hydraulic circuit.

Hydraulic and Mounting Compatibility

Before anything else, check the three values that determine installation: carrier range, flow, and pressure. This auger suits excavators from 0.5 to 1.6 tons. Optimal oil flow is 15 to 20 l/min, with a maximum pressure of 160 bar. The mounting pins are 25mm. Your machine must have an auxiliary line that matches this flow; higher flow or pressure can damage the tool's hydraulic motor.

What's Actually in the Drilling Kit

The package includes the 150mm bit, two hydraulic hoses, and seals. It's ready to mount, but you need to ensure your hose couplers match those on your excavator. A quick visual check before first use prevents thread damage or leaks in the auxiliary circuit.

For heavier carriers or wider holes, a Ø200mm version is available. For site finishing or cleaning, a 60cm cleaning bucket can round out your tool fleet. Finally, for Norteck SX series machines, the SX13 is a suitable carrier for this attachment.
