Flight augers? If you’re going more than 30 feet I would recommend hollow stem augers not just that you have a manual hammer? I’ve never evern seen that!!! How do you get blow counts when it’s super hard like till or shail
I pulled a rope for 10 years in another life on a cathead and the risks are significant. I am now a HSE Professional that tries to keep "kids" from doing the stupid things I did. Auto hammers are a one trick pony, agreed, however no one has ever had their arm ripped off by one. I worked with a gentlemen that took two trips over a cathead and had his arm re-built once. The slightest variable (temperature, moisture) can have an effect and things happen quick. The way the worker in the video had to switch hands when removing the hammer from the pot, and juggle the rope, is insane. This is is representative of an industry that is way too far behind the times and only sees change with blood.
I'm just the guy who made the recording - unfortunately I don't know anything about the equipment other than it looked like these guys were being safe - which, to me, would be the most important!
Sam Sinz from what I can gather, the site investigation is for a residential area meaning more than likely it will be 1 to 2 borings. Since it is only a few, the budget for this project might be miniscule. A drop hammer like this is usually cheaper. And even most equations are still based on the N values from a drop hammer and not mechanically driven hammers.
It is an older rig before auto hammers were popular and widely used. The cathead and weight was very dependable for years. PS calm down a little when commenting on peoples videos.

Why don’t you have hollow stem augers ?
good machine
550 is the O.G.
All those hydraulics and no hammer. That’s overpaid garbage.
If u look closely there is hammer
Autohammers are overrated.. They're one trick ponies. Cathead and rope you can do anything you want with.
@@robmurphy806 including but not limited to sending the hammer to the top of the mast when the rope gets wet.
