The Big Beaver is designed to work with 4″–18″ D-series augers. When deep holes are required, auger extensions can be added to let you drill down to 30′ with a 16″ auger and up to 100′ with a 6″ auger, depending on soil conditions.

Auger drilling is a method that uses a rotary drill with a helical screw blade (auger) to drill holes into the ground. This drilling technique creates a pilot hole and forms the path for a larger drill bit, allowing drillers to extract soil samples.
