The C-71-5 Earth Drill is the work-horse of the Ground Hog line, tried and tested for over 30 years. It's straight forward design promotes durability and requires very little maintenance.
The C-71-5 comes equipped with a centrifugal clutch and a finger operated, return-style throttle. It is also equipped with a stop switch at both operator positions. The C-71-5 uses Ground Hog's proven gear box, which incorporates TimkenŽ tapered roller bearings for years of trouble-free service. The gear box uses Ground Hog's 7/8" square drive output shaft, an industry standard.
