Ground Hog HD99H Hydraulic Earthdrill
HD99H Hydraulic Earthdrill.
The Ground
Hog HD99 is a Towable Hydraulic Earthdrill that is designed to be powerful,
easy to use and require very little maintenance.
The HD99H is
the most powerful earthdrill in the Ground Hog line. With it's 9hp Honda
or Subaru engine, the HD99H can easily dig with any Ground Hog auger up to 18
inches in diameter. The use of hydraulics allows the HD99H to have variable
auger speed and reverse which is very useful if the auger gets stuck.
The HD99H is
designed to take the load off of the operator by being almost perfectly
balanced with an 8-inch auger attached, and the right angle design eliminates
torque to the operator. There are also 3 handlebar positions that allow for
normal drilling, as well as close up drilling next to an obstacle such as a
wall or fence. The drilling head also pivots from side to side for drilling on
uneven terrain. Large highway rated tires make the HD99H easy to maneuver around
the job site and there is a locking mechanism on the digging head that allows
the auger to be held up and out of the way for moving the machine around
the job without having to disconnect the auger.
The heavy
duty powder coated steel construction of the HD99 uses a pivoting engine cradle
that protects the engine and lets it stay level for proper oiling and longer
life. The low profile and compact design of the frame eliminates the need for
telescoping booms and axles and allows the unit to be transported in the bed of
a small truck. The HD99 also comes equipped with a towbar with a 2" hitch
coupler and safety chains for surface street and jobsite transport.
The
hydraulic system used on the HD99H is extremely reliable and requires very
little maintenance compared to mechanical systems, and the HD99H uses high
quality Parker components. All the maintenance that is usually required is
to check or change the hydraulic fluid and engine oil and replace the hydraulic
filter. The uniquely shaped fluid reservoir holds 3 gallons of fluid while
having a large amount of surface area to dissipate heat for higher
efficiency. The reservoir has a dipstick for checking the fluid level and the
drain plugs for the hydraulic fluid and engine oil, as well as the
hydraulic filter, are easy to access and use without making a mess.
The Ground Hog HD99H is a powerful, well designed earthdrill you can rely on.
