im beggining to belive this man has never used his own tool. always talks about how well they work and how they can really hold sand but hes never shown a single video of them being used
@Mooseracks Yikes! That's why our rigs have a safety cage that keeps you from being too close to the rotating shaft. In fact, simply opening the cage immediately stops the rotation.
@@EijkelkampNorthAmerica Thanks. I'm surprised how few entries there are. Does it come with that small disability accommodation module in today's video? That thing looks like Boston Dynamics bought Ditch Witch and decided to enable odd angles of robotic cores around Hazmat sites? Or, seriously, like someone's trying to hint that a friend, Roger Failmetzger, needs to upgrade his tow behind tools...
The conical connection requires an absurd amount of strength to take them apart. We usually have a wrench in out kit but this isn't my first choice. Bayonet is the only kind I will use.
Yes, we recommend using wrenches to disassemble the conical joints. But if you need to hammer your auger or gouge into the ground, conical is the way to go! Hammering on the bayonet joints can snap off the connector pins.
As an environmental scientist, I’ve used Eijkelkamp augers and really appreciate the quick connect feature. Trying to unscrew the extensions on other augers can be a real hassle, but the quick connect sleeves-which I’ve only seen on Eijkelkamp models-make it so much easier. I’ve tried other brands like AMS, but they don’t seem to have this feature. When I needed to dig down to 2 meters, I thought the smaller 4cm auger bit would make the job easier, but it turned out to be just as tough as the regular 7cm. Right now, I’m just renting the augers, but I’d love to win a set of my own.
They are attached through our Conical attachment. Watch our video on our different attachments here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-utTv8zveNU0.htmlsi=LSr1-4SMKSsIqqcl If you have any more questions email USsales@eijkelkamp.com we'd love to help!
Please check out some of our other videos to see the auger in practice. For example, this one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UdMSzcUuhiE.html
Simply email your location and contact information to info@eijkelkamp-usa.com and we'll connect you with the right office for your country. This is a great auger!
Im usually conducting this test in grassy and overgrown areas. Im often worried about the excess surface vegetation disturbing the float. Would it influence the curve to dig a flat 2-3 inch-deep hole to do the test on?
Make sure to follow the ASTM method if you can. Excess vegetation should be removed when possible. Digging down would measure the infiltration rate of the soil below the vegetation layer, and not account for the effect of the vegetation. That might hurt modeled output. It all depends on the goal of the data that is being collected.
