Over 30 years of Digga attachments - Ron’s Landscaping

-
Machinery and earthworks-enthusiast Ron Bates from Ron’s Landscaping tells us he’s been involved in the industry over 30 years. Being a very brand-loyal Aussie bloke, Ron swears by two brands he has stuck with over the years - Bobcat for Skid Steer Loaders and Digga for machinery attachments.
“The reason I chose Digga was because I couldn’t justify the price of the other attachments on the market compared to the quality. And seen my Digga attachments are still running today, it was well worth it! I started off with a PD3 and an auger to fit my machine 30 years ago. Not long after purchasing another few augers, I bought a trencher and a slasher – which are now over 20 years old too.”
Being involved in the industry for so long, he sure has some great experience and likes to get the most out of his attachments. “I do all types of machine-work now, from digging dams to clearing, rural fencing, trenching for farmers, plumbers, electricians – basically anyone who needs some help digging and clearing around Hunter Valley in New South Wales. My augers are used to dig holes for fencing, tree planting, putting up sheds, footings for concreters etc. With my trencher I’ve event cut out large trees or worked on garden beds – I just love the variety of applications. You’ve got to think outside the box & you’ll be able to do anything with them.”, Ron tells us.

“Of course, I’ve had auger teeth, pilots, some hoses and trencher wear parts replaced over the years, but other than that they’ve been very efficient. Digga makes something that lasts - my gear works hard every day; they get a good run. I would recommend the attachments to anyone!”

Ron also LOVES his Slasher. The Digga Slasher attachment is suited for skid steers, mini loaders, tractors or excavators, used to effectively cut and clear grass and low ground shrubbery - ideal for landscaping, agriculture, roadway maintenance, parks maintenance, and general slashing.  
“I especially love my Digga Slasher because it just works so well, and it never lets me down. – I use it mainly around farms to clean up paddocks and manage all scrubby & rough bush up to 8ft tall.”
