For over 40 years, the versatile Little Beaver mechanical earth drill hasbeen the #1 choice of rental store owners, fencing contractors, andother professionals who require a one-man auger that is safe andsimple to operate. Thanks to our patented torque tube, weveeliminated the kickback found in competitive augers, makingone-man drilling safe and productive.
Little Beaver earth drills are incredibly fast. Operating at 360 RPMs, 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.
Engineered to work… and to last
We build our own heavy-duty transmissions that feature cooling fins for quick heat dissipation, 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.
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 RPMs and are recommended for 20:1 or 13:1 gear ratios.
When drilling hard clay, frozen ground, asphalt or hard pan soils, Little Beavers 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.
