POST HOLE DIGGERS

Since 1910, family-owned Danuser has been known for quality and innovation. OPICO have been selling Danuser post hole diggers for over 40 years in the UK.

Each post hole digger or hole borer is constructed of high-grade material and machined to precise tolerances to handle all of your rigorous digging needs.

Danuser post hole diggers are built to stand the test of time, and the gearbox design proves that. The gearbox is built strong to last. All manufactured to the same quality standards, Danuser augers are built to perform.

A selection of auger points and cutting edges are available for different digging needs. All PTO Danuser post hole diggers are mounted via the 3-point hitch.
