[QUOTE="Lowe.Buuck, post: 112663, member: 15208"]   I had the same question before I bought mine. Bobcat makes 3 models that you can get with a round or hex output shaft. Model 10 rotates at the highest RPM but has the lowest torque. Model 15 is medium speed, medium torque. Model 30 is low speed, highest torque. Model 30 is generally for digging in very hard ground with a rock auger or for large diameter augers. Model 10 is for soft easy to dig soils with the smaller auger bits on the smaller loaders and excavators. My area has a high clay content. When it is wet, my Model 15 struggles with the soil packing in the auger and dragging around the hole. As long as the soil is not too wet it works well. The Model 15 was recommended by my dealer. That is the most popular model for soils common to my area. You need to consider both the soil conditions in your area and the hole diameters you will will be digging most often. According to my auger manual, at 18gpm: The Model 15 will spin at 85 rpm and produce 1430 ft/lbs of torque at 2200 psi. The Model 30 will spin at 44 rpm and produce 2772 ft/lbs of torque at 2200 psi.
