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

The company explained that the Extreme Duty Series 2 Augers have been engineered to handle rocky and heavy soils with precision. They’re constructed with durable, high-grade materials intended to extend the life of the attachments. They all feature an Eaton drive motor and come standard with 2- or 2-½-in. hex shafts.

Blue Diamond offers six available models in the series — EX2, EX3, EX4HF, EX5HF EX6HF and EX7HF. The augers offer a maximum range of 2,630 to 7,189 ft-lbs. of torque, depending on the model. According to the press release, the auger’s compact, high-torque drive design allows it 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.”
