9-inch Bore for Gate Hangs and Stock-Fence Strainers
The Winton WHB09 is the borer smallholders and estate managers reach for when the job is standard paddock fencing. A 23 cm bore takes a timber strainer or stock-fence post without slop, and a 90 cm reach drops it below the frost line for season-after-season hold.

DescriptionWhy buy the Winton WHB09 Hole Borer?
The WHB09 sits in the middle of Winton's three-auger range. The 6-inch handles tree whips and light posts; the 12-inch swallows heavy strainers. This 9-inch is where most paddock fencing actually lands — standard timber strainers, stock-fence posts, gate hangers — and it suits the 20–50 HP tractors smallholders and estate managers tend to run.
Sinking posts around a paddock
A 23 cm bore drops a clean hole for a standard strainer or stock-fence post. Backfill packs tight, and the post stays plumb under wire tension. At 90 cm deep you clear the frost line and get enough buried length for sheep and cattle fencing to hold its line.
One PTO, no extra kit
The borer runs off the tractor's PTO. Auger, gearbox and PTO shaft come in the box, so the WHB09 hitches up and works on the tractor you already have — no separate power pack, no hydraulic top-up.

Review Your Winton WHB09
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.
It seems to work. So perfect
