The Brown Bear Auger Backfiller is a powerful and efficient tool designed for backfilling trenches. This blog post will explore the key features and benefits of this impressive piece of equipment.
Power and Performance:
- The backfiller mounts to Category II or III three-point hitches and is capable of handling a maximum input of 175 PTO HP.
- It operates at 1000 RPM PTO input with a 1 3/8″ x 21 spline shaft and standard ISO (clockwise) rotation. Optional configurations include a 1 5/8″ x 20 spline shaft and counter ISO rotation.
- The power transmission system consists of a PTO input to a slip clutch-protected right-angle reduction gearbox, which drives an enclosed 160 roller chain final drive with dip lubrication.
Durability and Reliability:
- The drive and discharge side bearings are lubricated with oil for extended life and smooth operation.
- The auger is designed for continuous use and features adjustable and replaceable wear plates for long-term durability.
Efficiency and Convenience:
- The right-hand discharge design allows the backfiller to efficiently follow a trencher, streamlining the backfilling process.
- The parallel filling action minimizes the required right-of-way, reducing crop damage and minimizing the impact on the surrounding area.
- The backfill material is pulverized during the process, which reduces settling and minimizes the need for future maintenance.
Specifications:
- Width: 10 feet
- Weight: 4250 pounds
The Brown Bear Auger Backfiller offers a combination of power, durability, and efficiency, making it an ideal solution for a wide range of backfilling applications.
