Mechanical Earth Drills

Applications:

  • Fencing
  • Decks
  • Landscaping
  • Sign erection
  • Soil Sampling
  • Horizontal boring

  • Lightweight, powerful, reliable
  • High speed auger rotation digs holes quickly and cleanly
  • Torque-free digging eliminates kickback
For over 40 years, the versatile Little Beaver mechanical earth drill has been the #1 choice of rental store owners, fencing contractors, and other professionals who require a one-man auger that is safe and simple to operate. Thanks to our patented torque tube, we’ve eliminated the kickback found in competitive augers, making one-man drilling safe and productive.
Little Beaver’s horizontal boring
options easily convert your earth
drill into a cost effective horizontal
boring machine. The sidewalk auger
kit uses a 3" auger and wiggle joint
extension to bore up to 5'. The water
drilling kit is used for horizontal
distances up to 50' with a diameter
of 2, 3, or 4".

We Build our own heavy-duty
transmissions that feature cooling fins for quick heat dissepation, o-ring seals, and heattreated shafts and bearings mounted in an oil bath.

The engine throttle control and the on/off switch are conveniently located on the left handle. Padded handles are ergonomically designed for less fatiguing operation.
A reliable, centrifugal clutch slips when a buried object is encountered or the auger is overloaded. This protects the flexible drive cable and the transmission gears and shafts from damage.
A Convenient snap button holds the auger securely to the transmission adaptor and lets you easily connect or remove augers and extensions without pins or tools.
Little Beaver offers a complete line of
snap-on augers in both 36" and 42"
lengths. Diameters range from 1.5"
to 16".We also offer snap-on
extensions, in both full flighted and
tube configurations.

Little Beaver earth drills are incredibly fast. Operating at 360 RPM’s, our augers rotate much faster than competitive units. Not only does this increase your drilling productivity, but it also results in cleaner holes.

The Little Beaver mechanical earth drill gets into areas inaccessible to skid-steer loaders. When traveling over manicured turf areas, the easy rolling wheeled carriage leaves no marks, eliminating costly turf restoration costs.

Standard augers are
equipped with hard-faced,
replaceable points and
cutting blades. For added
value, most blades
are reversible.
Heavy-duty rock augers
quickly cut through
rocky soils. These augers
operate most efficiently
at slower RPM’s and are
recommended for 20:1
or 13:1 gear ratios.
When drilling hard clay,
frozen ground, asphalt
or hard pan soils, Little
Beaver’s carbide blades
are the solution. The
carbide blade replaces
both the standard point
and cutting blade.

Carriage & Wheel Options

Customize your Little Beaver with a
variety of engine, wheel and carriage
options. Both the 5.5 hp and 8 hp
models are available with Honda OHV
or Briggs & Stratton engines.

10" pneumatic wheels are standard on
8 hp models, optional on 5.5 hp units.
Engine protecting roll cages are
optional on all models.

With its 20" semi-pneumatic wheels,
the specially designed rick-sha carrier
is ideal for navigating over the rough
terrain often associated with geophysical
job sites. A convenient pull handle and
transmission cradle make it easy to
smoothly move the earth drill to your
exact drilling location.
