Blue Diamond Attachments Introduces Extreme Duty Series 2 Augers

Blue Diamond Attachments has introduced its Extreme Duty Series 2 augers, with options for skid steers, compact track loaders, excavators, tractors and mini skid steers.

Designed to deliver maximum torque and efficiency for challenging drilling applications, these attachments are ideal for landscapers, utility contractors and municipalities.

The Extreme Duty Series 2 augers have been engineered to handle rocky and heavy soils and are constructed with durable materials intended to extend the life of the attachments. Each auger features an Eaton drive motor and comes standard with 2- or 2.5-in. hex shafts.

With six available models (EX2, EX3, EX4HF, EX5HF, EX6HF, EX7HF), these augers offer a range of 2,630 to 7,189 ft-lbs. of torque, depending on the model. The compact, high-torque drive design allows the auger to extend into the hole maximizing drilling depth and productivity, acording to Blue Diamond.

"The Extreme Duty Series 2 augers are yet another tool to provide versatility and flexibility for operators who need multiple attachments to complete their jobs," said Drew Truan, chief executive officer of Blue Diamond Attachments. "Using the same machine, they can seamlessly transition between attachments for the tasks at hand — from brush cutters or grapple buckets to these durable augers that offer excellent drilling performance."

The Extreme Duty Series 2 augers design provides additional features that support performance and reliability, including:

• a two-piece shaft design that ensures maximum side load ratings;

• a universal skid steer mount with welded cradle and dual-pin design that allows for natural hanging and stable drilling (skid steer, mini-skid steer and tractor models);

• an 18x19 adapter plate that provides compatibility with pin-on, pin-grabber or wedge-lock excavator mounts (excavator models); and

• an available telescopic skid steer mount for extended reach and drilling depth.

To accommodate different ground conditions and drilling applications, Blue Diamond Attachments offers heavy duty bits, heavy duty bits with cast heads, rock bits and tree bits for the Extreme Duty Series 2 augers, along with auger extension and adapters.

The Blue Diamond Extreme Duty Series 2 augers come with the Blue Diamond satisfaction guarantee and is backed by a 5-year gearbox, 3-year motor warranty and lifetime shaft pull-out warranty.
