AUGERS

Jansen earth augers — holes in minutes, not hours

An earth auger drills holes for fence posts, piles, foundations and tree planting. A job that takes half a day with a shovel is done in minutes. Indispensable on farms, in gardens, on building sites and for fencing crews.

What to look at before buying

Engine power, drill diameter and length, and the type of ground you work in. The harder and stonier the soil, the more powerful the auger you need. Check which drill diameters are available for the model.

FAQ — Earth Augers / Drilling Rigs

What is an earth auger used for?

An earth auger (drilling rig) bores quick, straight holes in the ground — for fence posts, tree saplings, foundation piles, or setting up sheds and gazebos. It replaces manual digging with a shovel, letting one person do in an hour what would take a full day by hand.

How are earth augers powered?

Earth augers run either on their own engine (typically petrol) or via a tractor's PTO, with the drilling attachment fitted with an auger bit of the required diameter. The choice of power source depends on whether the unit needs to work standalone or as a tractor attachment.

What Jansen earth auger models does Motohill carry?

The dedicated earth auger range from Jansen (including the HBG-1500 model) is currently limited in the live catalogue — the store mainly lists a CONVERSION KIT for the Jansen HBG-1500 that turns the earth auger into a cone log splitter, priced at 3,295.38 PLN. For a specific drilling rig or auger bit, it's best to check current availability directly.

How much does an earth auger cost?

Price depends mainly on auger diameter and drive type (engine vs. PTO) — the larger the diameter and the stronger the drive, the higher the price. At Motohill, the only currently priced item in this category is the HBG-1500 conversion kit at 3,295.38 PLN; for a full drilling rig, get in touch, as the range is being updated regularly.

Can the Jansen HBG-1500 be used for anything other than drilling?

Yes — the kit available at Motohill for 3,295.38 PLN converts the Jansen HBG-1500 earth auger into a cone log splitter, adding versatility to the same base machine.
