Mini Diggers for Fencing Contractors
For a fencing contractor, the time spent digging post holes directly limits how many jobs can be completed in a week, which is why an auger-fitted mini digger is one of the highest-impact purchases a fencing business can make.
The maths on manual vs digger-assisted fencing
Manually digging post holes for a long boundary run can take the better part of a day for a run that an auger-fitted digger completes in under an hour, freeing up time for the actual fence installation rather than the groundworks that precede it.
What fencing contractors need from a machine
- Quick-hitch compatibility to swap between an auger and a standard bucket for site clearance
- A range of auger bit sizes to match different post diameters across residential and agricultural jobs
- Compact enough to move easily between multiple sites in a single day
Which size to buy
A 0.6 tonne micro digger with an auger attachment covers the vast majority of domestic fencing work, while a 1.0 tonne mini digger adds useful power for heavier agricultural fencing or harder ground conditions.
