ABSTRACT:
An earth drill for use with a vehicle of a type which performs utility pole hole drilling operations is disclosed. The drill attaches to an end of a movable boom mounted on the vehicle. An elongated guide is rotatably attachable to the boom via a rotatable coupling, enabling the drill to be rotated to a convenient angle and fixed using an eccentric shear pin. A drill head is movably mounted for advance and retraction along the elongated guide. A drilling tool is attachable to the drill head and is oriented to drill a hole as the drill head is moved with respect to a ground surface. A stabilizer attached to a lower end of the elongated guide includes anchoring holes for receiving pins which are driven into the ground in order to resist transverse and rotative movement of the guide. The guide can float upwardly during a drilling operation, guided by the pins, and need not be fixed to the ground. The invention thus provides a quickly erected and effective device to drill holes of a size and at locations suitable, for example, for utility poles along the sides of highways.
