Is there an auger suitable to share between a dx10 and the 8026?

Depends upon what ground you are on.

I find the PDX2 a good auger for the 2.7t, and the E10 is also happy with it albeit slow. But better slow and sufficient torque for tough ground than fast but stalls easily. So I'd go with that for your needs.

I have a PDD for the Sherpa and E10 on good ground, but hardly ever use it.


Don't buy anything other than Digga or Augertorque- fk all saving with that JB crap and Digga quality is legendary.

Might be a bit optimistic here but would a 3t digger manage a 600mm auger? Not sure on the ground but mixture of backfilled stone and then what's believed to be brown clay

Yes, but you'd deffo want the PDX3 or possibly even the next one up, and take it very steady.

Pdx2 and pdx2 are £1340 plus vat
Pd3 1580 + vat
2 pin hitch £360
And their halo alignment system £90 for the PDX version and £210 for the pd

Finally getting around to re fencing the back garden. Only dug one hole and I'm already fecked off with it. Dozens left to do as another 40m of fence to sort with concrete posts. 100% buying a auger for the E10 next week. I can just squeak that down the side of the house/external boiler. What size auger for slotted concrete posts? Clay and occasional shillet here. Thinking 9inch might be about right.. or do you guys go bigger?

I went 9 and still found we had to trim sides to keep the posts in line, as the auger will wander with stones roots etc.

Would you go 10 or 12 if you had the choice to make again? 12” would let me do the odd strainer or gate post on the folks farm as well ..

You need all the sizes mate. Cheaper in the long run than wasting concrete. I use a 6” in good ground for concrete posts or 8” if it’s rough.

I think possibly 12 but then have to factor in extra fill.
But I guess depends what the grd is like in the area being worked

 

[Gunners]

On fencing I've found 6" is too tight, 12" is too big. Somewhere in the middle of those! But for streetlights the 12" is the puppy. Depends what you're planting I guess.

I shall use it for about 20-25 post holes to finish off my place and then it will hardly get used. Ground is clean clay here, but some roots and not confident on my accuracy. I will have to decide and maybe get a couple augers. It’s only a little E10 so smaller must be kinder
