Q:
Can this handle a 250mm auger? Or is it not recommended for this machine? Cheers
A:
It is only recommended to go up to 200mm for this machine. We have a 159cc model which will have no problems driving a 250mm auger into the ground.

Q:
Good morning, I am in the process of designing and enlarging the existing play ground area at our school, I will need to instal over 100 posts to support the perimeter seating. The school is in Levin in the Manawatu where the ground is full of varying size river stones which make hand digging very difficult. My question is would this Post Hole Borer be suitable for my purpose?
A:
Yes this would do the job. Smooth round river stones will not be a problem, although this is obviously size dependent to some extent.

Hi there, I need to drill quite long horizontal holes into the face of a bank for an engineered retaining wall. I'm happy to get extensions sorted but wondering if this machine will run well in the horizontal position for prolonged periods?
A:
It's 2-stroke, so yes it should be fine.

Q:
Hi guys, can this handle a 300mm auger attachment???
A:
Potentially, but it may struggle a little depending on the soil type, so you may want to look at a bigger model.

Post hole borer

Great item , did the job perfectly.

Very Efficient Machine

Very happy with this machine. Was completely assembled in box, all I had to do was mix the oil/petrol mix and put on the auger. First use I was nearly sucked into the ground as my old borer had required a lot of effort to drill. This one was a breeze and came with 2 other augers as part of the price. Can't ask for more than that.

2 of the 3 augers broke tooth off Good machine augers not so good

Builder Auckland
Excellent - fit for purpose

I'm delighted after a month and over 50 holes dug. Super easy to set up and use. It's powerful. I've learnt that patience in using smaller size augers first, saves some torque wrenching - especially in stoney ground or with roots.

Al Wellington
Good so far

Have currently dug 150 holes with medium sized auger 15 strainer post holes one meter deep it's working well so far past. Post hole diggers that I have owned in the past the gearbox has worn out on them so only time will tell if that happens to this one

Brian Bay of Plenty
Really good!!!

Is pretty quiet and easy to start, runs really well, as good as the centrifugal clutch is it does kick in a bit early for me so really like just hang an uninterrupted dig, small rocks can stop the rotation but I’m saying that it beats becoming a human helicopter

Hyundai posthole borer

Runs well for its size

Great machine

Perfect for our lifestyle block. Done dozens of fence posts, retaining wall posts and smaller work - a huge time and labour saver. Easy enough for an able person to handle. Starts easily as all the Hyundai engine seem to. Be a bit careful in wet soil to go slower and let it clear out the diggings (hold it up if you have to). Went a bit fast once and it corkscrewed right into the ground and I ended up having to dig it out.
