Controlled pre-drilling: when it matters

Key takeaways
- •Pre-drilling facilitates driving in hard or rocky soils.
- •Drilling units are available as options on TURCHI 260F and 300F.
- •Reduces mechanical stress on the machine and improves precision.
When pre-drilling is needed
Not all soils allow direct driving. Rocky, limestone, or compact concrete-layered soils require pre-drilling to create a pilot hole. This reduces machine wear and improves the final result.
Available options
Both the TURCHI 260F and TURCHI 300F can be equipped with drilling units. The TRI/4 hydraulic drilling unit is available for road applications with up to 4 simultaneous holes. Side and central augers are available for other needs.
