Little Beaver Earth Drills

Little Beaver Earth Drills are the ideal tools for easy drilling of small or large holes for soil sampling, groundwater monitoring, percolation testing, installation of geophysical sensors and many other applications. These one-man and two-man portable units are easily transported for use in any field location or difficult, limited access drilling site. Augers range from 1 1/2" to 16" in diameter.

Drilling units are available with hydraulic or mechanical power, and a variety of gasoline engine power sources. Each unit consists of a wheel-mounted power source, mechanical or hydraulic linkage to the drill handle, one or two-man drill handle with hydraulic motor or mechanical gear reducer, and patented torque tube connection between the power source and drill handle. Snap-on drilling augers and extensions are purchased separately.

The Little Beaver's unique torque tube is a telescoping tube attached between the engine and transmission, placing all of the counter torque from the auger on the engine package, and none on the operator. The result is easy drilling with no kickback felt by the operator. This important safety feature sets the Little Beaver apart from all other earth drills on the market.

Hydraulic Earth Drill

The hydraulic earth drill is the most powerful and easy operating of the Little Beavers. Its simple operation requires no clutch, transmission or long flexible shaft. An 11 HP gasoline engine and hydraulic power unit are mounted on a three-wheel carrier, and power is supplied to the drilling head by hydraulic hoses. Choice of three engines and three drilling handles are available to handle a range of requirements.

One-Man Handle Standard model has motor which operates at 220 RPM with approximately 140 ft.-lbs of torque. Useful for drilling large diameter holes (9"-12") to 3-4 ft. or smaller diameter holes up to about 10 ft.
