242H & 262H 2350 General BOR-MAX Series Earth Augers

The 242H & 262H 2350 General BOR-MAX Series Earth Augers are designed to bite hard, dig deep, and deliver results, job after job. Purpose, built for the 242H and 262H EPIC Series hand-held hole diggers, these augers bring over 50 years of trusted General Equipment engineering to your fingertips. From the cupped and pitched flighting that reduces mess and maximizes digging efficiency, to the tough-as-nails boring head that rips through dense soil with ease, this auger is your go-to weapon for small-machine power digging. Rugged, aggressive, and engineered to outperform, the BOR-MAX Series turns every hole into a work of precision and profit.

FEATURES

• 1.0 INCH DIAMETER ROUND AUGER DRIVE CONNECTION: Built for compatibility with both the 242H and 262H hole diggers. Simplifies inventory management and maximizes versatility across small digger models.
• INCREASED FLIGHTING PITCH MINIMIZES POWER REQUIRED: Optimized flighting design reduces resistance during digging. Requires less engine power, which decreases operator fatigue and extends machine life.
• CUPPED FLIGHTING PRODUCES CLEANER HOLES WITH LESS SPILL BACK: Lifts soil out of the hole more efficiently, reducing cleanup time and improving jobsite efficiency—great for fence posts, landscaping, and small footings.
• HEAVY-GAUGED, STEEL, HELICOID FLIGHTING FOR ADDED STRUCTURAL STRENGTH: Withstands impact and torque from rocky or compacted soils. Built for tough terrain and daily abuse without bending or warping.
• HEAVY-WALLED, STEEL, AXLE TO BETTER WITHSTAND BENDING AND TORQUE LOADS: Reinforces core strength of the auger. Maintains alignment and durability in tough soil conditions.
• PITCHED, CAST STEEL BORING HEAD FOR MAXIMUM PENETRATION, STRENGTH & SERVICE LIFE: Designed to aggressively cut through dense materials while resisting wear. Increases overall productivity and reduces replacement frequency.
• CUTTING BLADE EXTENDS PAST FLIGHTING EDGE TO MINIMIZE FLIGHTING WEAR & EXTEND SERVICE LIFE: Shields the flighting from direct soil abrasion. Extends the working life of the auger and ensures cleaner hole edges.
