Each digger is constructed of high-grade material and machined to precise tolerances to handle all of your rigorous digging needs.

All Danuser diggers are built to stand the test of time, and the gearbox design proves that. The gearbox is built strong to last. All manufactured to the same quality standards, Danuser augers are built to perform. A selection of auger points and cutting edges are available for different digging needs.

Whether your operation requires a hydraulic or PTO digger, skid-steer mount, front-end loader mount or 3-point hitch mount, OPICO can provide you with a Danuser digger that is nothing short of remarkable. For over 40 years, landscapers, farmers and contractors have looked to OPICO, as one of the industry leader's in digging equipment.

Post Hole Diggers - G20/40, J20/80, F8 - Features

The Farm Range is designed for tractors from 20 to 80 hp, consists of two models and takes augers to suit a 2" (50mm) solid round output spindle.

The Contractors' range has a heavier duty boom and lower gear ratio and is designed to take augers to suit a 29⁄16" (65mm) solid round output spindle.

Gearboxes

Danuser gearboxes are cast in the USA. Strong and long lasting, these castings are made from high-quality materials and machined by Danuser to tight tolerances. The ring gear and pinions are mounted in Timken tapered roller bearings.

Accessories

Down force kits, extensions with guards, plain and serrated cutting edges with teeth, and a selection of points are available.

Safety Guards

Auger adapter guards, fully guarded drivelines, pinion guards, and auger extension guards are all standard.

5 Year Gearbox Warranty

Earth Drills - 8300, 8900 - Features

Regular users of hole boring augers will appreciate the convenience of a hydraulic drive
which gives the ability to reverse the drive when caught under tree roots or stones. The standard range uses a high torque hydraulic motor and proven Danuser gearbox to drive the auger.

Gearboxes

Danuser gearboxes are cast in the USA.  Strong and long lasting, these castings are made from high-quality materials and machined by Danuser to tight tolerances.  The ring gear and pinions are mounted in Timken tapered roller bearings.  The model 8900 utilizes a planetary gearbox.

Hydraulic Motors

Hydraulic units utilize either an Eaton or Commercial Shearing motor. Both are high torque units and add reversibility to your digging.
