Really thinking about going to a K drill but am wondering if it will work on my digger auger rack I have on my snowmobile. Anybody have this combo?

Only thing that might give it problems is the shaft size. The kdrill is about double the size of a normal auger.

Yes, they work just fine. Actually better than my Nils/Tanaka combo.

So I purchased the 8" k drill and I cant get it to work with the digger rack. The shaft size of the k drill is much larger than most augers and is causing an issue as kickemup mentioned. anyone have any ideas for me? My back up plan is to use the gun rack style that mounts to the atv rack but would much rather use my digger.

I know this is old, but I have the same problem. I just designed and 3D printed a new cradle cap to fit the K-Drill. The flighting of the K-Drill is kind of wonkey so the final version of this part is not ideal, but works.
