Ground Hog ModelONE One-Man Auger

Ground Hog Inc. has been making larger earthdrills for over 70 years and when we decided to build a smaller one-man machine, we wanted it to be the best. One-man earth drills have been around a long time and they haven’t changed much. We wanted to design a high quality machine that is improved and refined in every possible way. We think we have accomplished that goal.

At the heart of the ModelONE is the transmission and it is designed to take abuse. A 3-inch centrifugal clutch transfers the engine’s power to heat-treated billet steel gears. Oversized bearings are used throughout. The sealed, grease-filled cast aluminum gearcase is heavily reinforced with ribbing to make it incredibly strong without adding unnecessary weight. All of this allows the transmission to easily handle the torque, shock and also the impact and side stresses on the auger bit.

The handlebar is comfortable and the controls are easy to use. The full wrap-around handlebar has a thick and durable cushioned grip surface that gives comfort and control to the operator. There is a trigger-type, spring-return throttle that allows for precise control and a kill switch is located conveniently above the throttle. The handlebar and the gearcase are also designed to make the machine as short as possible to allow the operator to start digging a hole at a lower, more comfortable and controlled hand position.
