The Series 24 Auger Backfiller is a helpful attachment for skid loaders, designed for efficient and effective backfilling tasks. This blog post will explore its features, benefits, and specifications.
Features and Benefits
- Universal Compatibility: The backfiller is designed with a universal skid loader hitch and flat face hydraulic couplers, ensuring compatibility with most skid loaders, regardless of whether they have high-flow hydraulics.
- Hydraulic Options: For skid loaders without high-flow hydraulics, remote hydraulic units are available, requiring a minimum flow of 15 GPM at 2500 PSI. Six different hydraulic motor sizes are offered, allowing customization based on the skid loader’s hydraulic capabilities.
- Durable Design: The backfiller features a continuous auger with adjustable and replaceable wear plates, ensuring longevity and efficient operation.
- Efficient Backfilling: The parallel filling mechanism minimizes right-of-way disturbance, and the auger pulverizes the fill material during backfilling.
- Reduced Maintenance: The backfiller’s design helps reduce maintenance associated with washouts or sinkholes.
- Maneuverability and Versatility: The skid loader-mounted backfiller is highly maneuverable and compatible with various compaction methods, including water puddling and mechanical compaction.
- Speed and Efficiency: It offers faster backfilling compared to traditional blade filling techniques.
Specifications
The Series 24 Auger Backfiller comes in different models: R24C, MDR24, and HDR24, each with a swath width of 72 inches.
The table in the source document provides detailed specifications for each model, including:
- Drive System
- Hydraulic Motor (Final Drive)
- Required GPM (gallons per minute)
- Pressure
- Auger Speed (RPM)
- Optional Tilt Angle
- Recommended Carrier Weight
For example, the R24C model, compatible with skid steers with standard flow or auxiliary hydraulic circuits, uses a DR18 or DR25 hydraulic motor, requires 14-24 GPM at 2500 PSI pressure, and operates the auger at a speed of 175-218 RPM.
Brown Bear also indicates optional tilt angles and recommended carrier weights for each model.
