Engineered to Last
Little Beaver builds its own heavy-duty transmissions that feature o-ring seals, heat treated shafts and bearings mounted in an oil bath, and cooling fins for quick heat dissipation.
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, transmission gears, and shafts from damage.
Little Beaver offers a complete line of snap-on augers in both 36' and 42' lengths. Diameters range from 1.5' to 16'. Little Beaver also offers snap-on extensions in both full flighted and tube configurations.
Little Beaver's horizontal boring options easily convert your earth drill into a cost-effective horizontal boring machine. Sidewalk auger kits and water drilling kits available.
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 Earth drills are incredibly fast. Operating at 360 RPM, our augers rotate much faster than competitive units. This increases your drilling productivity and results in cleaner holes.
Customize your Little Beaver with a variety of engine, wheel, and carriage options, including roll cages and rick-sha carriers.
Tips for Every Use
Standard augers are equipped with hard-faced, replaceable points and cutting blades. Most blades are reversible for added value.
Use Little Beaver's carbide blades when drilling hard clay, frozen ground, asphalt, or hard pan soils. The carbide blade replaces both the standard point and cutting blade.
Heavy-duty blades quickly cut through rocky soils. These augers operate most efficiently at a slower RPM speed and are recommended for 20:1 or 13:1 gear ratios.
