PRODUCT DETAILS

We use the same Auger Drive for 1t, 1.7t and 3t tonne excavators. Why?

There are more powerful heads available for the 3 tonne excavator – but they spin much slower. This is OK if you ONLY have very tough ground. But if the ground is a bit softer – the extra speed you get from the higher flow on a 3 tonne excavator makes up for the “less power” than a more powerful auger drive.

Rates may change without notice

FOR YOUR SAFETY:
prevent tipping – machine not to be driven up slopes greater than 15° or across slopes greater than 10°.
No Damage Waiver applies to damage caused by use on excessive slopes.
