Fencing

When erecting fencing, one of the most time consuming tasks is that of digging post holes. The augur attachment for the K9-4 can accommodate a drill bit between 150mm and 760 mm. The holes can be dug up to a level of 1800mm. As with the trenching, the hole will be uniform in shape all the way down to the bottom, thus requiring less filling material to secure features in the hole.

When it comes to the augers, K9-4 uses a brand that is recognised as the best. It’s the cutters that are important in digging. These cutters, and how they are positioned, are the result of years of digging experience. The cutting teeth are interchangeable - earth and tungsten teeth for all dirt conditions and rock tips for those really hard conditions that need grinding away at. If it is diggable, or even grind-away-able, then a hole can be dug. Some just take a little longer.

Our “Dingo Augers” are set up in a way to give faster digging at less cost in all dirt conditions. To do this we use a standard earth pilot (worm) with earth spear teeth in all but the outside position. In the outer position, which experiences the most wear, we put tungsten teeth.

Trouble with roots or rocks? The K9-4’s ability to be repositioned is a great advantage here, plus the ability to reverse the auger. So for roots simply back off and then feather down again to cut the root. For those holes with loose rocks (always the hardest), a K9-4 has great advantages. Reposition the K9-4 with a little rocking and slewing. Using this method you can often get the tip under the rocks, to bring them up between the flighting. And, when it’s large rock or shale that is giving the problems, then it’s time to change the teeth to the rock teeth (as mentioned above) to grind through that rock.
