The NC Series (no-chains) is an economically priced unit with planetary gears at a chain drive price, in three models for light to moderate applications. No case drain hoses required. Coupled with BELLTEC's augers for dirt and rock, these drilling units meet all your drilling needs from dirt to solid rock and concrete.

Downward pressure units provide the ability to dig more vigorously through harder materials from dirt to solid rock and concrete with slower drilling speeds from higher capacity hydraulics such as from full-size backhoes and more. These units mount easily to most models of skid steer loaders, backhoes, extending boom forklifts, small excavators and tractor front-end loaders.

Fit the right model to your hydraulic system. Optimum auger speed commonly is at 50-70 RPM.

Dirt augers are mostly for the Midwest alluvial soils. The "penny test" indicates rock harness. Either the penny will scratch the rock or the rock will scratch the penny. Belltec Augers will drill either but hard rock REQUIRES maximum down pressure and maximum torque. But the heaviest-duty auger you can afford. Replacement teeth are inexpensive but not commonly needed. Belltec Augers are standard in four foot lengths with extensions to six foot. Additional extensions or an Ellington Expandable Kelly Bar can be added to dig to depths of 20 plus feet. (Belltec has an excellent warranty up to five years on some models but limited to 10 foot depths).
