Post Hole Digger

A post hole digger uses the end with the screw blade called ‘flighting’ or auger to dog holes in the ground. In case of farming, these holes may be drilled for the purpose of inserting posts. However, these holes can also be used for other purposes such as planting.

The hole digger implement looks like a drill bit and it pretty much works the same way, except that it is also capable of pulling out the drilled part.

The augers can be automatic being able to adjust with the tractor. But these diggers can also be manual. The variations include mechanical and electricity-powered diggers as well.

The ones operated with a tractor require a PTO driven equipment. With post hole diggers, holes of equal sizes, equal distances and great depths can be guaranteed. The only limitation of these diggers is that they have a set diameter and any digger with a predefined diameter will only be able to dig the hole of a specified circumference.

On the bright side, hole diggers are economical; they are best for tree plantation; they can save time and can deep 90cm in just under 30 seconds.

Another positive element of this implement is that by detaching the auger, it can also be used as a mini-crane.
