Blue Diamond Attachments‘ new Extreme Duty Series 2 Augers deliver all-new options for skid steers, compact track loaders, excavators, tractors, and mini skid steers. Designed to deliver maximum torque and efficiency for challenging drilling applications, the new attachments are ideal for landscapers, utility contractors, and municipalities. 

Features of the new Extreme Duty Series 2 Augers

The Extreme Duty Series 2 Augers have been engineered to handle rocky and heavy soils with precision, and are constructed with durable, high-grade materials intended to extend the life of the attachments. Each auger features an Eaton drive motor and comes standard with 2 or 2 and a half-inch hex shafts.

With six available models (EX2, EX3, EX4HF, EX5HF, EX6HF, and EX7HF), these augers offer a maximum 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.  

“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 at 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 18×19 adapter plate that provides compatibility with pin-on, pin-grabber, or wedge-lock excavator mounts (excavator models).
• 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 are backed by a 5-year gearbox, 3-year motor warranty, and lifetime shaft pull-out warranty.
