80 RPM Hydraulic Piston Earth Auger (2) 2 / Video
Hydraulic Piston Earth Auger
This equipment, easily mounted on your tractor's three-point hitch system and driven by a PTO shaft, offers an ideal solution for agricultural and landscaping tasks. It provides high efficiency, especially for planting tree saplings, olive, fruit, and hazelnut saplings, and installing fence posts. Thanks to its hydraulic piston system, it allows you to easily drill deep holes even in hard and rocky soils. This machine, which offers smooth operation even on hard ground, can be precisely adjusted during the drilling process with the hydraulic control lever, according to the hardness of the soil.
Installation and Operation Features
The soil auger is easily mounted on the tractor's three-point hitch system. The PTO-driven shaft system provides maximum performance for the user. During the drilling process, the hydraulic piston allows the auger to penetrate the ground easily. This makes it possible to drill deeper holes, especially in hard and rocky soils.
The machine's transmission speed is set to 80 RPM, and it operates with SAE 140 gearbox oil. It's important to check the gearbox oil level before each operation. Additionally, lubricating the shaft guard tube with grease is necessary for smooth operation. After every 300 holes drilled, ensure that all bolts are tight to guarantee the machine's long-term durability.
Applications and Advantages
This soil auger is suitable for many agricultural and landscaping tasks. When the correct drill bit is selected, you can achieve the highest efficiency in the following applications:
-
Planting tree saplings
-
Planting olive, fruit, and hazelnut saplings
-
Installing fence posts
-
Drilling deep holes in hard and rocky soils
Thanks to the hydraulic piston system, you can easily and quickly perform drilling tasks regardless of the soil's hardness.
Drill Capacity and Performance
This machine offers various hole drilling options and delivers high efficiency based on the soil's condition. The hourly hole drilling capacity is as follows:
-
20 cm diameter and 100 cm depth: 80 holes/hour
-
30 cm diameter and 100 cm depth: 70 holes/hour
-
40 cm diameter and 100 cm depth: 60 holes/hour
-
45 cm diameter and 100 cm depth: 50 holes/hour
-
60 cm diameter and 100 cm depth: 40 holes/hour
This performance is ideal for both small and large-scale agricultural projects.
Important Maintenance Tips
To ensure the soil auger operates correctly and lasts a long time, follow these important maintenance steps:
-
Check the gearbox oil before starting and top up with SAE 140 oil.
-
Lubricate the shaft guard tube generously with grease.
-
After every 300 holes drilled, check and tighten all bolts as necessary.
