Features
High-Torque Performance

The PA40 delivers powerful drilling capability with a planetary-drive system designed for high-torque output, making it ideal for demanding applications like large-diameter holes and tough ground conditions.
Durability You Can Count On

Enhanced hydraulic motors and a heavy-duty gearbox design compared to previous models increase reliability and reduce component stress, helping the auger hold up in harsh conditions and over extended use.
