The invention discloses a pit digging device for forestry planting. The pit digging device comprises a supporting plate, a water tank, batteries, a water pump, a solar panel, supporting legs, first threaded rods, second threaded rods, electric push rods, a motor, a drill rod and nozzles. The pit digging device has the advantages of being simple in structure, convenient and practical. The first threaded rods and the supporting legs are arranged, and the relative position of the first threaded rods and the supporting legs is adjusted to ensure that the supporting plate can be kept horizontal when the ground is uneven or inclined, so that pit digging is always conducted vertically downward; the second threaded rods are arranged to fix the whole device on the ground, and the stability in thepit digging is ensured to facilitate the pit digging; the water tank, the water pump and the nozzles are arranged, the water pump pumps the water in the water tank to a main water pipe, then the waterflows into branch water pipes and sprayed from the nozzles, the water is sprayed when the pit digging is conducted, on the one hand, dust can be reduced to prevent dust from scattering and affectingthe health of workers and environment, and on the other hand, the soil can be softened to make the pit digging more convenient and fast.
