Auger for Mini Excavator

[DeadMoo]

Hi,
I'm looking at getting an auger for my Kubota K008 1 ton excavator (5.55 gpm flow) and have so far come across the following and wondering if anyone has experiences with them. Looking to use this for 4x4 ( 8" auger bit) and 6x6 (10" auger bit) fence posts going 4' down.

Auger Torque x1100-13
Belltec LC150
Premier MD06PD
Baumalight RC442

I believe they're all single pin attachment, how unstable might that be? Should I look to spend an additional $600-700 for a cradle or 2 pin attachment?

Thanks,
James

5.5 gpm is not a lot of flow. I am curious what the gpm is set at on excavator. I would guess the ground would have to be pretty forgiving to get much production out of that.

It will be a slow turn about 50 RPM but should be fine for what I need it to do, post holes in backyards in the city here.
