12-inch Bore for Corner Anchors and Heavy Gate Posts
Big-bore option in the Winton borer family - the WHB12 sinks a 30 cm hole wide enough to seat a strainer or gate post with packing room around it, where a 6" or 9" bore leaves you fighting the post in. Suits estate managers running fresh fence lines.

DescriptionWhy buy the Winton WHB12 Hole Borer?
When you're hanging a field gate or anchoring a corner, a 6-inch hole won't take the post. The WHB12 drives a 30 cm auger to 90 cm depth — room to set a strainer below the frost line and ram in fill around it without splitting the timber.
Strainer and gate-post work
This is the size that earns its keep on fence lines. Stock-fence intermediates can run on a 6" or 9" bore; strainers, gate hangers and corner anchors need the wider hole to seat properly and hold a wire under tension.
Tractor fit and driveline
The 20-50 HP range covers compact tractors at the lower end through mid-size utility tractors at the top. Supplied as a complete kit — auger, gearbox and PTO shaft in one box, so there's no separate driveline to chase.
- 12" / 30 cm auger diameter — sized for strainers, gate posts and corner anchors
- 90 cm working depth — sets a strainer below the frost line and into firm subsoil
- 20-50 HP tractor range — fits compact through mid-size utility tractors
- Tractor-mounted, PTO-driven — single-hole setup for fencing rather than light planting
- Complete kit supplied with gearbox and PTO shaft included
- Secondary use on deep planting pits, vineyard stakes and orchard anchors

Review Your Winton WHB12
It seems to work. So perfect
We are amateurs when it comes to machinery like this, we both feel that the instructions on setting the thing up are sadly lacking in the detail required to make things easy! However, once we managed to get it set up, it worked very well. And we will be out there doing more this winter. I would not recommend that anyone try using this during a drought, the ground is simply too hard! But any other time it's fine. Marks I'd give 4 out of 5.

Thank you for the detailed feedback, and I'm glad that you got there in the end. The manuals have been updated since your order was placed, and we are always available to lend support and advice when needed.
