Post borer

[Daniel Jiggins]

I use this oh so easy ,

 

Very nice and very small foot print I imagine?

 

What about the pto versions any good? Looking at a tomlin for around £2k but oxdale do one for £500 any one got an oxdale? are they that cheap for a reason?

"What about the pto versions any good?"

Used our neighbors pto one to put uprights in for our barn and it was pretty handy but does get deflected by larger rocks but that's probably the same with most augers.

Any auger will go off line if it hits rocks bigger then it can dig out, I have a bracket on my mini digger auger so you can keep it reasonably on line but I bent one of the smaller augers once by trying to force it a bit too much. That was trying to put fencing up on a disused quarry the ground was the old granite spoil pit:laugh1:

£500 seems very cheap for any auger, my biggest auger piece alone nearly cost that. The actual drive unit was £1400

The trouble with tractor mounted augers is you have no control of getting the auger up right. The trick is to pull forwards slightly as it goes down to keep it upright. Mini diggr ones you can control it all and keep it vertical with out having to move the actual machine.

see the oxdale one at the norfolk country fair the auger bit looked a bit feeble , you get what you pay for ,

That's a nice looking set up. Started the other fence last week all started really well then went belly up as took 3 days to set 37 posts and had to hire a micro digger for the last few holes. Reckon we were on the found for an old dry stane dyke will have to upload some pics when I've got them from my phone

Big bolt that looks tidy on that boxer, which model is it x2500? And what size auger will it run up to?

Thanks, auger torque make very good quality products and not badly priced too
