STIHL BT 360 2-Man Heavy Duty Petrol Earth Auger Hire

Hire the STIHL BT 360 2-man petrol earth auger. Heavy-duty 60.3cc post hole borer perfect for tough soil, fencing, and landscaping. Flexible rates & local delivery.

Tackle the toughest ground conditions with our heavy-duty STIHL BT 360 2-man petrol earth auger hire. Specifically engineered for commercial landscaping, fencing installations, construction, and agricultural tasks, this robust post hole borer delivers the extreme torque required for effortless drilling through dense, compacted soil.

Driven by a powerful 60.3cc petrol engine, the BT 360 is built for steady, high-performance drilling. The two-man operation frame features integrated extended handlebars, giving both operators optimal leverage and maximum control against high-torque resistance.

Safety and comfort are central to its design. The auger comes equipped with dual emergency stop switches—allowing either operator to kill the engine instantly—while the integrated STIHL ElastoStart mechanism absorbs compression shock to reduce muscle strain during startup. Whether you are installing extensive agricultural fencing, planting large root balls, or setting structural posts, this commercial-grade earth borer dramatically speeds up your project workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do you supply the drill bits with the auger hire?
Yes, we stock a comprehensive range of genuine STIHL auger bits and extension shafts. Please select your required diameter (e.g., 90mm, 150mm, 200mm, 280mm) when booking your hire.

It runs on a 2-stroke petrol and oil mix (50:1 ratio). We can supply pre-mixed 2-stroke fuel with your rental to ensure clean running and peak performance.
