Features and Benefits
Maneuverability
Access hard-to-reach areas that skid steer-mounted augers can’t get to with the unit’s compact design and easy to handle three wheeled chassis.
Simplified Operations
Enjoy comfortable one-touch control for both forward and reverse operation with the ergonomically designed one or two man handles.
Enhanced Safety
Avoid dangerous kickback with the steel torque tube, which transfers digging torque from the drill head to the engine carriage during normal operation and when the auger encounters an obstruction.
Powerful Drilling
Power through the toughest materials with a high horsepower-hydraulic drive combination that consistently delivers more torque.
Decreased Damage
Glide over delicate turf without damage with pneumatic tube tires.
Remarkable Versatility
Get higher torque, better speed control and less vibration with a range of auger sizes. These drills can handle augers up to 400mm in diameter and can drill to depths of 10.6m with augers that are 305mm or less in diameter.
Hydraulic Power Source
Broaden your capabilities with our general-purpose hydraulic power source. It’s a versatile, stable and easy-to-use alternative for Little Beaver drills and a broad range of hydraulic tools, including concrete saws, breakers, tampers and chain saws. It features an attaching point for the torque tube, an oil cooler with a 250mm fan and a 18 litre tank for dependable, all-day operation. You can secure the Power Source in the back of a truck or mount it on optional two- or three-wheeled carriages for greater in-the-field portability and maneuverability.
Handles
Little Beaver handles feature a self-centering control valve for quick return to neutral when released. They’re available in one- and two-man models.
One Man
The one-man handle is perfect for ordinary drilling. It’s 150-rpm motor generates 300Nm of torque to drive augers that are up to 230mm in diameter. For faster speeds, an optional 220-rpm motor is available.
