The Challenge At RockyRoo we were challenged to design and produce a machine that could dig postholes in the most severe soil conditions. We put ourselves up against all Australian soil types. The team knew we had to create a 3-point linkage digger with positive hydraulic down pressure that was affordable... And it had to be safe!! We had seen the markets previous responses to the challenge and we had observed their weaknesses. We noted that all previous attempts were severely limited in the amount of down pressure their frame could handle without damage.

The Market Opportunity - What Customers Want

The simple answer was threefold:

Today’s RockyRoo is the result of an exhaustive and continuing R & D program. This research has yielded a post hole digger that really works well and is affordable .

Designed Without Compromise

The RockyRoo takes its design cues from 21st century tractors.

It has now been successfully tested and proven with the NEW telescopic three-point hitch tractors.

We have analyzed each components strengths and then selected them to make the RockyRoo as strong as the sum of the best componentry available.

Across the Board Quality

The pivot points are bushed with turret drawn bronze bushes, military grade fit and finish.     All the pins are machined and then case-hardened and feature cross drilling for grease points to lubricate the bushes.     All grease zerks are then located inside the frame to eliminate the chance of accidental damage.     The bosses that retain the bushes are also CNC machined to within .005 thou.     The drivetrain is an Australian variant on the proven Omni Gear driveline, the most popular gearbox in the world. The clutch has been computer matched to the rated torque capacity of the gearbox and is without doubt the finest available. This allows the machine its incredible capabilities in hard or extreme digging when most clutches would burn up or slip, and be hard to reset.

Heavy Duty Bite

			Our design partner Universal Augers has purpose built the RockyRoo Auger.
			We use extreme duty tungsten breaker teeth combined with a tri flow pilot engineered with a cast Tri-Max cutting head. This is technology normally found in the mining industry.

RockyRoo augers are available in 6", 8", 9”, 12”, 14”, 16” and 24" dimensions.

Tried and Tested

The RockyRoo is a combination of many components all reworked for Australian conditions to cope with the maximum stress a tractor can afford.

We have extensive experience in all Australian soil conditions.

Our Patented* Curved Tail... It's a Boomer!!

It is obvious the RockyRoo is a product built to last. However, the real secret of the RockyRoo is in the boom tail design. The patented boom tail design with its smooth formed high tensile curve is technology of this millennium. Anyone who has ever tried to bend steel will marvel at the smooth line achieved in the patented curve of the boom tail. They will be further amazed when they realize that the steel is high-grade hi-tensile steel and as tough as it comes.

The patented boom tail serves two purposes:

			It eliminates stress points at the ram thrust point.
			It also brings together all of the relevant angles that give the machine its tremendous performance.

And this boom tail is powered by a purpose built hydraulic ram that is manufactured to RockyRoo specifications.
