Little Beaver touts its mechanical earth drills as powerful, lightweight and safe LIVINGSTON, Tex. – Little Bea- ver's mechanical earth drills offer a safe and productive solution for one- man hole digging applications, the company commented. Featuring a 360-rpm operating speed, the drills are fast and produce clean holes, while the compact design allows ac- cess to areas unreachable by skid steer-mounted augers. The mechanical drills are de- signed for a variety of industries, including fence and sign installers, rental centers, landscape and building contractors, and parks and recreation departments. The mechanical earth drill is available with either a 5.5- or 8-horse- power engine and is mounted on 8- or 10-inch semi-pneumatic tires, respec- tively. Both versions offer a small footprint for easy access in any area and can be used on lawns, golf course greens and other delicate surfaces without causing damage. The mechanical drills feature a steel torque tube that allows operators to use large diameter augers without fear of dangerous kickback. In addition to increasing operator safety, the torque tube provides easier drilling, reducing operator effort and fatigue. To enhance operator safety, all models feature a centrifugal clutch. If the drill encounters a buried object or the auger is overloaded, the clutch automatically slips to protect the oper- ator from serious injury and the drive cable and transmission gears from damage. Features that reduce maintenance and extend life include heavy-duty transmissions with cooling fins for quick heat dissipation and improved longevity. The company powder coats all steel features to enhance strength and durability. A universal auger, standard with Little Beaver mechanical earth drills, makes it easy to change out tips for specific surface types. A hard-faced tip, suitable for typical lawn and gar- den dirt and sandy loam-type soils also is standard. The optional heavy-duty rock tip works well in rocky soils. And for the toughest surfaces, in- cluding hard clay, asphalt and frozen ground, the optional carbide-blade tip is ideal. Little Beaver also offers easy-to- change, snap-on augers in 36- and 42- inch lengths and diameters ranging from 1.5- to 16-inches. Snap-on auger extensions are also available. Many optional features allow end-users to customize their drills. For more information, call 800- 227-7515; fax 936-327-4025; e-mail sales@littlebeaver.com; or visit www.littlebeaver.com.
