Hydraulic motors have a higher rated operating pressure.
Large, durable motor shaft seal.
Come standard with hex driveshafts that allow the bit to be driven by the shaft instead of a retaining pin.

John Deere augers will enable you to increase efficiency while decreasing stress on your machine.

Heavy-duty gear design for long life and minimal maintenance.
Planetary gearbox housing this brings the planetary gear set closer to the motor.
Gearbox with updated input shaft is a more durable design.

Number of planetary gears in PA30B gearbox increased from three to five.
Max torque rating for PA30B increased from 4166 lb-ft to 4500 lb-ft (due to new gear box design and increase in gear reduction).
Required hydraulic oil-flow rate is:
- 23–64 L/min (6–17 gpm) for PA15B.
- 57–114 L/min (15–30 gpm) for PA30B.
Required high-flow hydraulic oil-flow rate is 106–160 L/min (28–42 gpm) for PA40.

John Deere augers operate efficiently and require less maintenance to save you time.

Reverse rotation enables quick backout when obstructions are encountered. This also helps shed dirt from the auger when working in wet conditions.
Spring-loaded, double-lipped seals guard against contamination.
All moving components run in oil for constant lubrication.
Sealed drive units with all moving components oil lubricated.
