What happens here
Given the prevalent rocky conditions, the team prepares to deploy a rock auger attachment. The presenter explains that the property is covered with large rocks, some visible as boulders on the surface, necessitating pre-drilling for fence posts. A carbide-tipped rock auger bit is shown, designed to cut through hard rock formations. This specialized bit is then attached to the hydraulic arm of the Protech Evo 1 machine.
Goal: Equip the post driver with a rock auger for challenging ground.
Tools and materials
- Protech Evo 1 post driver Protech — Serving as the base machine for the hydraulic rock auger
- Rock auger bit — Pre-drilling holes through rock
