12 • FEBRUARY 2015 • WORLD FENCE NEWS Little Beaver offers variety of options to help match points and blades to specific digging conditions LIVINGSTON, Tex. – Match- ing the ideal auger point and blade to the specific soil type minimizes pre- mature wear, maintenance costs and labor. With that aim in mind, Little Beaver manufactures a variety of au- gers, points, and blades designed to optimize their ability to cut through specific soil profiles. Little Beaver's replaceable blades and points mount on the company's regular and heavy-duty snap-on au- gers. They protect the augers from wear while drilling in soils that range from loamy soil to compacted rock. "We want to keep our custom- ers drilling," said Little Beaver sales and marketing manager Mike Hale. "We designed our blades and points for simple replacement on our signa- ture snap-on augers so operators can focus on digging and quickly change out parts when they become dull or worn." The standard blades and points come with every Little Beaver snap- on auger. They fasten to the auger with two steel bolts, and operators can remove the bolts with a common ad- justable wrench. The standard blades and points are suited for loamy soils or areas with few rocks. They are made with cold- rolled steel and hard surfacing to their edges. With these blades and points, the augers can drill more than 100 holes in prime soil conditions before servicing is needed. Smaller-diameter augers – 1-1/2- inch, 2-inch and 3-inch – use standard points that simply screw or pin on. For dense soils, Little Beaver's exclusive carbide blades fasten to the bottom of the snap-on augers, simi- lar to the standard auger points, and cut hard clay and frozen ground into smaller pieces. "Some operators may keep both the standard and carbide blades on hand if they will be moving to mul- tiple sites with the earth drills," Hale said. "Having both sets allows them to dig holes in a wide range of soil con- ditions and helps prolong the work life of the blades and augers." For the most challenging soil formations, Little Beaver's line of heavy-duty snap-on augers use spe- cially designed, heavy-duty steel and carbide blades and tips for abrasive soils and compacted rock. They lock into the larger-diameter augers with rubber locks to form a tight wedge fit, so they cut through difficult soil for- mations without coming loose from the auger. Little Beaver has been manufac- turing quality, safe and productive drilling equipment for three genera- tions. With a full line of easy-to-oper- ate equipment, along with a complete offering of accessories, including au- gers, extensions, points and blades, Little Beaver effectively serves the needs of end-users from professional contractors to rental centers.
