Auger extensions

Drilling deeper: which auger extension?

Match the extension to your auger and drive, and check an inner telescopic extension fits inside your auger.

1. Match the extension to your auger

Each Digga extension is made for one auger series and has the same hub, so it connects straight up with no adaptor. Pick it by the auger you run, then check your drive is within its rating.

Extension Suits augers Hub Drives up to Torque rating Lengths
X4 A4, RC4 65 mm round PD4 4,200 Nm 500 to 1,500 mm
XO75 and XT75 A6, RC6, DR6 75 mm square PD7 7,200 Nm 1,000 to 2,500 mm
XO75HD and XT75HD A8, RC8, DR8 75 mm square PD22 (XO75HD), PD15 (XT75HD) 23,000 Nm (XO75HD), 14,000 Nm (XT75HD) 1,000 to 5,000 mm
XO100 and XT100 RC10, RC11, DR11 100 mm square PD50 40,000 Nm 1,000 to 4,000 mm
XO100HD RC11, DR11 100 mm square SD95 95,000 Nm 1,000 to 4,000 mm

2. Outer or inner (telescopic)?

Outer extensions (the X4 and every XO) fit between the drive and the auger. The hub and shaft are welded, which keeps play down for a straighter hole. Inner extensions (XT) are telescopic and slide inside the auger. With the XT75, start with it fully inside the auger. When you reach full depth, let some out, pin it and keep drilling, with no need to stop and add another length. Inner extensions also store inside the auger, so they take less room on the truck.

3. Check an inner fits inside your auger

An inner extension needs room inside the auger, so it won't fit the smallest sizes. The XT75 won't fit inside A6, RC6 or DR6 augers of 300 mm and under, and the XT75HD won't fit inside augers of 450 mm and under. For the XT100, tell us your auger size and we'll check it.

4. Allow for made-to-order lengths

Longer heavy duty lengths are made to order: XO75HD and XT75HD from 3,000 mm, and every XO100, XT100 and XO100HD. Allow extra lead time for those. Tell us your drive and auger when you order and we'll check the extension suits both.
