1) Make sure to know the Make, Model and Year of your Skid Steer Loader.
2) Know the purposes that you will primarily be using your auger attachment for. Will you be working in rocky terrain from the Midwest, hard clay, dry and sandy California hills, or just your average dirt? YES, IT MATTERS. If you are going to be working in just the average dirt, then a dirt bit with standard dirt teeth is going to be fine - Click Here for an example of a heavy duty dirt bit with dirt teeth.

Select an auger that is inside your machines flow range. If your machine's flow is at the low end of an auger's flow range then your drive will turn slow (won't lose any torque).
4) Compare prices but don't sacrifice quality and warranties. No one is going to tell you to not do shop for the best price but ensure that your aren't buying a cheap gearbox. Also ensure that who you are buying it from will actually get it to you in the expected two week shipping window that we all allow for when purchasing equipment.
