Welcome to the Digga blog

Even though a key feature of the 4in1 bucket is low maintenance, there are a couple of checks you can do before each use to make sure you work efficiently and safely. We recommend you carry out the following steps on a regular basis to ensure the best performance of your 4in1 bucket: Check if all your safety stickers are in place, understood and followed correctly. If you are unsure about the signage, all the correct information is provided in your operator’s manual of the 4in1 bucket. Make sure that all nuts and bolts are tightened on your linkages and pins. Check the bucket’s hydraulic fittings and hoses for any leaks and make sure that no leaks are present. Check for any wear and tear on your pins, linkages and cutting edges of your 4 in 1 bucket. If you find excessive play in your pins and linkages or you have a worn-down cutting edge you can refer to your operator’s manual or get in contact with us to replace or repair any damage or excessively worn parts.

The Digga excavator cradle hitch was designed and manufactured to improve operator and workers safety when manoeuvring around sites whilst also providing a simpler connection to augers and piles. The double pin hitch with drive unit cradle allows the operator to angle the drive up to 90 degrees with greater support given by the cradle so it is easier and more stable when connecting to augers or anchors. The cradle also acts as a support mechanism when manoeuvring around the work site allowing the drive unit to rest on the cradle, stopping it from swinging around over uneven terrain. Designed and manufactured to suit the size of the different drive units available, the hitch can be ordered with loose or fixed pin options and suitable for use with PD3 – PD50 Digga drive models . When drilling you should lift the cradle up and away from the drive unit. Do not drill with the cradle resting against the drive unit. This will damage the cradle hitch and your auger drive. See the co...

A Digga 4 in 1 bucket is arguably one of the most versatile earth moving attachments available for both construction and agricultural users alike. As the name suggests, a 4 in 1 bucket enables you to perform 4 different functions which Digga reference as standard bucket operation, grappling, levelling and dozing. A 4 in 1 bucket adds great value to the operators business and machinery over a standard bucket: Standard bucket operation When the bucket is fully closed the Digga 4 in 1 bucket can be used as a general purpose bucket for moving dirt and material etc. Digga tip: If you are dumping into a truck you can dump at a greater height than a standard bucket by opening the floor to release the material.  Grapple operation  With the bucket above an object, open the floor sufficiently and lower the bucket down so that the object is between the jaws. When you close the floor, the object will become clamped between jaws so you can lift and move. Digga tip: Always u...

David Savic of Savic Plant Hire recently called in to Digga HQ and chatted to us about his Digga tilting 4 in 1 Bucket and Cleana bucket broom. The Digga 4 in 1 bucket and Cleana bucket broom are Australian made and feature practical features to make light work of earth moving. David’s business offers plant hire to all walks of constructors and earth movers and believes being versatile for his customers if very important; just like supplying them with quality products that can get the job done. That’s why he chooses Digga Australia machinery attachments. David has been very happy with his Digga 4 in 1 tilting bucket and Bucket Broom which he regularly uses himself around the yard and on his own property. The Digga Tilting 4 in 1 Bucket – sometimes referred to as a 6 in 1 bucket allows him to get full radial control of the cutting angle while maintaining all the features of the standard 4 in 1 Digga bucket. He commented, “From the level gage at the back of the bucket to the vi...

Then I operate an 18 tonne excavator with a 2 speed Digga PD30.” The Digga PD30 is an upgrade from the PD18 Baldy used to operate but he admits “after 8 years of heavy work, I finally managed to break the PD18…”  Of ...
