FAQs
What is the best earth auger for coconut plantation? For coconut plantation, a 12-inch bit on the Balwaan BE-63 is ideal for most soils. Hard laterite soil in coastal areas requires the two-man BE-180.
Do earth augers need a fuel mix? 52cc and 63cc models are 2-stroke — require 25:1 petrol-to-oil mix. The 173cc BE-180 is 4-stroke with a separate oil reservoir — no fuel mixing needed.
