Description

The G20/40 Digger is built to the exacting standards of high quality which have become
synonymous with the name Danuser.  The G20/40 Digger is designed for one-man operation
from the tractor seat to “Dig Holes Sitting Down.”  The heat-treated straight bevel gear set,
tapered roller bearings, and tubular crane boom form an integrated design to provide utility
and reliability.  The G20/40 Digger is designed for 20 to 40 horsepower, Category I three-
point hitch, 540 RPM PTO tractors using sway stabilizers.  The digger has a 2 inch round
spindle for auger attachment.  Augers are available in lengths of 29, 33, and 40 inches, and
auger extensions are available in lengths of 7 and 14 inches.  Auger diameters range from 
4 to 24 inches.  Auger diameter must not exceed 24 inches.  Danuser augers are built with
special wear-resistant steel on the lower flights, replaceable cutting edges, and replaceable
points.  The auger attaches to the gearbox spindle with a 

special

Grade 8 bolt.  The shear

bolt is a 

special

Grade 5 bolt and connects the driveline to the gearbox pinion.  Read and

understand this manual and the manual for your tractor before attempting to assemble,
install, or operate this post hole digger.  If you have any questions, contact your dealer or
Danuser Machine Company, Inc. at (573) 642-2246.
