EquipmentWorld.com | January 2018 59 Drilling fast in soft or moder- ate soil The Bobcat 15C direct-drive auger is designed to drill holes fast in softer to moderate soil conditions, such as sand, dry material and light dirt, and leave the hole cleaned out. It has a combination output shaft that allows for both hex and round bits. It is 10.6 inches wide and 37 inches long and can dig down to 62 inches without an extension. It can be used with certain Bobcat compact track and skid-steer loaders, excavators, Toolcat utility work machines and the V519 telescopic tool carrier. Stump chips stay in the hole Fecon's Stumpex stump grinder works on skid steers with as little as 20 gallons per minute of hydraulic output. It can handle any stump that is 10 to 28 inches in diameter and down to 20 inches deep in a single pass. When grinding, the chips stay in the hole be- cause of the Stumpex's threaded cone and staggered AR500 cutting blades. That makes cleanup easier and faster, the company says. It weighs 1,500 pounds and produces up to 33,600 foot-pounds of torque at 4,000 pounds per square inch of pressure. landscaping attachments | by Don McLoud | DonMcLoud@randallreilly.com
