[QUOTE="830Scott, post: 96460, member: 5466"] Sorry the boss isn't giving you all the details. Really hard to complete a puzzle when you don't have all the pieces. Knowing almost NOTHING of the job, I'd say you need a large hi-flow machine with a purpose-built, custom attachment. Hydraulic motor turning a screw or worm gear set up. Depending on the digging conditions, it may be possible to gear the system to cut/drill at the speed it is penetrating. You said it will drill at an angle...depending on THAT angle, and if it is always the same, the attachment could be built to hold all 14' of auger, at the required angle. For someone to fabricate this special equipment would likely cost between $10-20k (attachment only). Seems to me that a LOT more effort should be put into trying to locate the equipment of the dead guy. No sense in reinventing the wheel (unless you have tons of extra money laying around). [/QUOTE]
