"Agility is one of the primary drivers for Ignite Attachments," said Matthew Foley, lead engineer. "Whether that's direct-to-you shipping, transparent pricing or expanding our product line to fill a gap in the market. Our design team brought the award-winning features of our auger lineup to mini excavator operators looking to maximize their fleet versatility."

The new auger has a drilling depth of 50 in. with a standard bit, or up to 86 in. with optional extension.

Self-Balanced Alignment

Like other auger offerings, the MEX auger attachment features a unique joint between the mounting frame and drive unit to ensure straight, vertical holes, even while working on contoured, sloped or uneven ground.

"We've taken the guesswork out of drilling," Foley said. "With our self-balanced alignment feature, customers get perfectly straight holes without spending time worrying about the carrier's stance."
