When to replace Trencher Wear Parts

-
Keeping on top of your Trencher wear parts will prolong their life and keep you working efficiently for longer! So, when should you be replacing Trencher teeth? How do you know they are worn out?

At Digga we have two different tooth options. Have a look at the description and images below.
  • Tungsten Carbide Teeth: once the carbide at the tip of the tooth is gone, the tooth is ineffective. 
  • Cup teeth: once the tip starts wearing back through the tooth and you’ll notice some hard facing – that's when it will start to inhibit the ability of the chain to penetrate the ground.


Consequently, you will be labouring your machine and burning extra fuel. Make sure you exchange your wear parts regularly to avoid working inefficiently.


Further maintenance checks on your Trencher Chain
Whenever you replace teeth make sure to check your bolts as well – you don’t want to risk losing the teeth by re-using worn bolts.

Check all your spacers, make sure there is no fatigue or wear.

Check the bottom of your chain and inspect the rollers, which are also wear-points due to the constant contact of the drive sprocket and nose roller.
We recommend you take your time each day before going out to a job, to carry out these small maintenance checks – you don’t want to get caught in the middle of a job with a break down that’s going to end up impacting your performance on the job!

Got questions? Contact our service department at 1300 784 223 or get in touch via info@digga.com

Feel free to watch our video with Anthony, Digga Sales Manager, taking you through the most important points to consider.

Having trouble operating your Digga bucket broom? There are a few tips and tricks when it comes to brush adjustment & height, rotation direction and the broom emptying procedure. We've summarised them for you below. Direction of travel and brush rotation Always sweep at a high enough brush speed and low ground speed to effectively discharge the material being swept. Brush height adjustment Remove the handle pin, twist the handle, and replace the pin. Re-adjust the axle to the correct height using both handle adjusters. Return handles to their original position. Correct Brush Height Set the height of the brush so the bottom of the brush is approximately 30mm lower than the bucket cutting edge. The brush must be level. Emptying Procedure When the bucket requires emptying, stop the rotation of the brush, lift your loader arms and crowd the bucket forward so the Bucket Broom hood swings away from the bucket. Examples of Damaged Bucket...

How to Replace DR Auger Rock Picks (Dedicated Rock Augers)

-
Image
Rotating rock picks, are the auger teeth used on our Digga dedicated rock augers (DR) for drilling from soft rock to hard fracturable rock. Here are some things you can observe to determine whether the rock picks are worn: The teeth need to rotate while drilling to maintain an efficient cutting tip. The tungsten tip and tooth should be evenly pointed. Poorly maintained teeth reduce cutting efficiency and wear out faster costing time and money. We recommend you replace worn teeth immediately! Tip: the outside teeth (C) will wear the fastest as they are travelling the greatest distance so will need replacing more often. Try swapping the outer tooth for an inner tooth to keep the wear even. Always use your best teeth on the outside pockets. Here are some examples or rotating rock picks in various states of wear. Tooth A has not been rotating in the pocket and as a result the tooth is uneven and will cut poorly. We recommend changing this tooth. You may also notice if the tungsten tip has...
