    Trying to rig my ATV for ice fishing. I use a Kdrill. Any suggestions for bucket and auger holders would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance …

    I use a Rhino Monster Box and the attachable bucket holders. For the auger I use a digger auger carrier on the front rack. Some have said the Kdrill does not fit the Digger that well so you could attach Kolpin Rhino grips to the Monster Box or front rack. I did this but mainly use them to carry a shovel. Lots of options.

    Due to the twin flighting on the K-drill auger, it does not lend itself well to yoke style supports. This was my solution for my K-drill setup. The plywood base is zip tied to the stock tubular rack.

    Another one to add/update;
    This year I made a change to how I support my electric auger. As I posted above, that setup works great if using only one size auger. If you change auger diameters it changes the center-line heigth so the drill does not sit properly in it’s cradle.

    This year I want the option of using either a 6 inch K-drill or a 7 inch lazer auger bit.

    I determined the center-line height of the drill was 8.5 inches and welded up a bracket to match. The yokes are cut from UHMW plastic. Due to the twin flighting on the K-drill the tips of one yoke need a radius to clear the flighting.

    The auger shaft itself is supported and the drill is supported as well. I did not want the weight of the drill hanging off the chuck.

    PS. Didn’t take a pic of the 7 inch laser auger but it sets in the cradle exactly the same.
