📘 Overview
The Digga DR6 Rock Auger Bit uses heavy-duty rotating carbide bullet picks specifically engineered for drilling from fracturable rock through to very hard rock — conditions that standard A-series or RC-series earth auger bits cannot handle. Rotating picks distribute wear around the pick circumference for dramatically longer service life than fixed picks. Short flighting design encourages regular spoil removal, allowing cool air to enter the hole and enabling regular inspection of the carbide picks. Available in 6"–18" diameters for machines 5–25T. Made in Dyersville, Iowa, USA.
⚙️ Key Features
- Rotating carbide bullet picks — 360° wear distribution for maximum service life in hard rock
- 6"–18" diameters | For 5–25T machines
- Short flighting — encourages regular spoil removal, keeps hole cool, allows pick inspection
- DP-000C10 pick pockets — 19mm rotating picks (DP-00C3SR)
- Fracturable to very hard rock conditions
- Made in Dyersville, Iowa, USA | Digga — attachments since 1981
🔑 Benefits
- Rotating picks provide 3-5× longer service life vs fixed picks in hard rock — fixed pick tips wear on one face. Rotating picks wear evenly around the full circumference.
- Short flighting prevents heat buildup that can damage picks in continuous hard rock drilling
- Field-replaceable picks (DP-00C3SR) avoid full bit replacement when picks wear
- Dedicated rock design provides clean, consistent holes in conditions that damage earth auger bits

❓ FAQs
|
Q: What is the difference between DR6 and A4/RC4 auger bits?
DR6 uses rotating carbide bullet picks for drilling in genuine rock — fracturable to very hard. A4 uses flat chisel teeth for earth and clay. RC4 uses taper teeth for earth to medium rock. DR6 is the appropriate choice when ground conditions include solid rock that defeats A4 or RC4 teeth. |
|
Q: What rotating picks do I order for the DR6?
DR6 uses DP-00C3SR 19mm rotating rock picks in DP-000C10 pockets. The pilot tooth is DP-C1HDLR. Both are sold separately on eskidsteer.com — see the DR6 Rock Auger Pilot Tooth and DR6 Rock Auger Rotating Pick listings. |
|
Q: Why is the flighting shorter on the DR6 than on earth auger bits?
Short flighting allows rock chips and cuttings to be removed from the hole more frequently during drilling. This prevents cuttings from accumulating around the picks (which causes regrinding and heat), allows cool air to enter the hole, and lets the operator visually inspect the picks and pilot through the open auger column. |
|
Q: What drive unit do I need with the DR6?
DR6 suits machines 5–25T. For skid steers, a 3DSS or 4DSS is appropriate at the lower end. For mini excavators and compact excavators in the 5–10T class, contact eskidsteer.com for the appropriate Digga excavator drive unit recommendation. |
|
Q: Can DR6 drill through reinforced concrete?
DR6 is designed for natural rock drilling. Reinforced concrete contains rebar that can jam and damage auger bits. Contact eSkidSteer or eskidsteer.com for guidance on concrete drilling applications. |
