The robust STIHL BT 131 earth auger is used by professionals in the horticultural, agricultural and construction sectors for the fast, efficient drilling of burrows for fences, plantations or point foundations. Thanks to its powerful STIHL 4-MIX® engine, the machine can dig rapidly into the soil.
STIHL has equipped the BT 131 with the STIHL QuickStop drill brake to protect the operator. As soon as the drill jams in the earth, the release lever activates the STIHL QuickStop drill brake, bringing the drill to a standstill within a fraction of a second.
The start-up sequence has been simplified, making it more user-friendly. The large support cushion, included as standard, lies closely against the body during the drilling process. This allows the machine to be operated smoothly and precisely. The stable, low-vibration frame grip allows for especially effortless work.
The 0.7l fuel tank allows the machine to run for long periods.
Each piece of machinery equipment is delivered/ collected by our trained Errigal Plant Hire experts, who will load and unload plant safely from our lorries & vans onto your site.
