Digga's A6 Earth Auger Bits are crafted with over 35 years of manufacturing and design know - how, offering top - notch performance, excellent quality, and great cost - effectiveness. The A6 series features a 1 3/4 hex drive pilot instead of a square drive, which provides more strength for machines with high down pressure and high torque. These bits are perfect for Skid Steers and Excavators up to 8 tons when drilling in the earth. The A6 is a flat - tooth auger bit with chisel ripping teeth in its inner pockets, ideal for general earth and clay drilling. Fitted with multi - facet tungsten teeth, it can also handle granulated and soft fracturable rock. Designed with a double - start single - carry flight configuration, its shallow flight pitch helps retain more soil, and the heavy - duty body ensures reliability in tough conditions. Here are the A6 Auger Bit Specs: Drilling Conditions - General; Hub - 2.5' Hex; Optional Hub - 2' Hex; Overall Length - 60'; Pipe - 3' - 5.5'; Flights (Lead) - 5/16'; Flights (Carry) - 5/16'; Teeth - TM; Pilot - PM - HX - 3; Max Size - 60'; Ideal Drives - 4DDS - 7DDS. Optimum Drilling Speeds: Earth - 55 - 65, Clay - 45 - 55, Shale (Fracturable Rock) - 25 - 45, Heavy Rock - N/A. Its unique features include a double - start, single - carry flight setup, shallow flight pitch for soil retention, and a heavy - duty body for durability.
Using the A6 Earth Auger Bits is easy. First, make sure your Skid Steer or Excavator is up to 8 tons as these bits are designed for such machines. When drilling in earth, aim for a speed between 55 - 65. For clay, keep the speed at 45 - 55, and for shale (fracturable rock), 25 - 45. Don't try to use it on heavy rock as it's not suitable. Before starting, check that all parts are properly attached, especially the teeth and the pilot. During operation, watch for any signs of excessive vibration or strange noises, which could indicate a problem. After use, clean the auger bit thoroughly to remove dirt and debris. Store it in a dry place to prevent rust. Periodically check the teeth for wear and replace them if needed. With proper use and maintenance, your A6 Earth Auger Bit will last a long time.
