LOWE Skid Steer A-400 Planetary Auger – 2.5" Hex Drive
Brand: LOWE Manufacturing
The LOWE A-400 Planetary Auger Drive is built for operators who demand extreme torque, maximum durability, and uncompromising performance in the harshest drilling environments. With a massive 6,000 lb-ft torque potential and a heavy-duty 2.5" hex output shaft, the A-400 is engineered for oversized auger bits up to 48 inches, making it a premier choice for commercial contractors, utility crews, foundation installers, pipeline builders, and high-horsepower skid steer operators.
Designed for machines running 22–42 GPM and 2,000–4,000 PSI, this drive unit leverages LOWE’s proven hydraulic motor and a reinforced planetary gearbox backed by a 5-year limited warranty. Its solid housing structure eliminates unnecessary leak points, while the hardened alloy drive shaft provides long-term reliability under heavy cyclic loads.
The A-400 includes a universal quick-attach plate (J2513 spec), flat-face couplers, and hydraulic hoses for a fast, clean installation on nearly any high-flow skid steer. Whether you're driving massive posts, drilling foundation piers, anchoring solar installations, or powering industrial-scale earth drilling, the A-400 is built CrewTough—engineered to outperform, outlast, and deliver peak torque every single day.

Shipping & Freight — What to Expect
CrewTough ships heavy-duty attachments and equipment across the U.S. Most items ship fast and trackable, but many of our products require freight (LTL) due to size and weight.
To make sure your order arrives smooth (and priced right), we may need a few details before freight ships.
Before Freight Ships, We’ll Confirm:
- Delivery type: Residential, Farm, Business, or Commercial
- Do you have a dock or forklift?
- Best contact number for the freight carrier to schedule delivery
- Any access notes: gravel roads, tight driveways, gate codes, limited truck access, etc.
Why this matters: Freight carriers price deliveries differently depending on the location type and unloading requirements.
MULTI-ITEM FREIGHT PRICING NOTE (Your “call us” requirement)
- Ordering Multiple Freight Items From the Same Manufacturer?
If you’re ordering multiple items from one manufacturer that charges freight, call or email us first. In many cases, we can combine freight and make sure you’re getting the best possible rate.
