Like our 2 person augers these one person units are strong enough to tackle Fence posts, holes for piers for the new deck, mailboxes, or any other job you can think of throwing at them. These towable hydraulic earthdrills require a 2″ ball to tow and run on regular gasoline. We have auger bits that are 6, 8, 10 and 12″ wide which can dig to 36″ and extensions to bring you below frost line if necessary. The use of hydraulics allow the user to have variable auger speed and reverse which is very useful if the auger gets stuck.
The HD99 is designed to take the load off of the operator by being almost perfectly balanced with an 8-inch auger attached, and the right angle design eliminates torque to the operator. There are also 3 handlebar positions that allow for normal drilling, as well as close up drilling next to an obstacle such as a wall or fence. The drilling head also pivots from side to side for drilling on uneven terrain. Large highway rated tires make the HD99 easy to maneuver around the job site and there is a locking mechanism on the digging head that allows the auger to be held up and out of the way for moving the machine around the job without having to disconnect the auger.
Remember, we are in Connecticut and these drill earth, not rocks, so we can’t guarantee your success. We can say most are more than pleased with the ease of use and performance of these units.
