Welcome to the Digga blog

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 diggi...

Based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Rusin Concrete Construction have been offering a wide range of concrete services for commercial and residential projects for the last 20 years. Earlier this year they were commissioned to excavate grade beams for a multi-unit housing project in Colorado Springs. Project Manager, Tyler Orr explained, “The total structure square footage for the slab on grade was approximately 11612sq m. Grade beams were 300mm wide and 900mm deep below the slab and were the structural component of the project in lieu of typical foundation walls. We trenched about 14km by the end of the project and shattered expectations with the excavation speed.” Rusin purchased the Digga Bigfoot XD 1200 trencher at the World of Concrete convention in Las Vegas especially for the project. It was a bit of a gamble as they had never used a Digga trencher for such an application before, typically digging with a mini excavator. However, all models in the Digga Bigfoot XD trencher...
