Power Mechanical Earth Drill

For soil sampling, construction and more, earth augers are gasoline powered and portable. Using one operator, they allow fast and easy drilling. They feature snap-on or screw-on augers and extensions. Engine mounted on wheel-base carrier keeps motor noise and fumes away from the operator. Torque tube eliminates counter torque. Features such as the carrier and torque tube offer greater mobility, beneficial in areas inaccessible to large equipment, on slopes and horizontal drilling, various standard sampling methods to obtain material samples. Recoil starter and spring-loaded throttle-in-handle assembly provide fingertip control. Centrifugal clutch, heavy-duty flexible shaft connects to the motor and provides for a smooth operation. Blades and points are tool steel, hard-surfaced and heat treated. Blades are reversible for longer life. Most augers are snap-on design; smaller diameter augers are screw-on. Auger has either 5HP or 8HP, 4-cycle engine with 10:1 gear ratio, complete with wheel kit and torque tube. Order augers and extensions separately. For augers 1.5" to 6" dia., maximum depth is 18' (38 to 152mm, 5.5m deep).
