Dig-R is a division of General Equipment Company that manufacturers hole digging equipment, ventilation products, and surface preparation equipment. General Equipment Company was started in the 1930's by Raymond Von Ruden who devised a way of transferring power and motion from a farm tractor to a standard logging saw. That company was originally named Von Ruden Manufacturing Company. In 1955 Raymond Von Ruden sold his interest in the company and started his new and thriving company, General Equipment.
General Equipment Company's DIG-R-Tach line allows for use with both small and large hydraulic systems. This is ideal for skid steer loaders, small excavators, knuckleboom cranes and small backhoes, the 671 DIG-R-TACH Series 16 earth drilling attachment is intended for smaller hydraulic systems, whereas the Series 24 is designed for larger hydraulic systems found with backhoes and excavators.
Featuring a two-speed chain/sprocket drive and a 5 to 20 gpm hydraulic flow range, the Series 16 balances smaller flow volumes in proportion to auger diameters. The result is a cleaner hole with less loose soil and debris. For higher capacity drilling, the Series 24 operates in a 15 to 25 gpm hydraulic flow range and delivers a maximum drilling torque of 2,018 foot pounds at 2,500 psi.
The Series 16 uses an industry standard two-inch hexagon auger drive drilling system. This design eliminates excessive auger driveshaft wear. A complete line of earth augers up to 36 inches in diameter is available with Pengo type, cast-steel boring heads and forged teeth for maximum digging performance. For additional drilling depth, full-flighted auger extensions can be added.
For those that prefer a round auger drive system, the 753 DIG-R-Tach series offers a 2 to 9/16 inch auger connection. Installation of all DIG-R-Tach models is simple with a dipper-stick mounting bracket.
