For small boring operations on rural terrain, such as planting vines or plants, or for sinking holes for greenhouse poles or fence uprights, a medium-power earth auger is preferable. In this case, the work can be done by one person, whereas professional earth augers require two operators.
The MTL 51 model is particularly safe and comfortable: all the controls are combined on an ergonomic handgrip, including a safety lever to protect against uncontrolled acceleration. Available accessories include bits in different diameters, with tip and flute in special steel, which are easily interchangeable thanks to the quick fit coupling. A 30 cm extension with cotter pin may also be purchased separately to provide greater drilling depth.
