The Ground Hog 1M and 1M5C one-man earth drills/auger are designed to put the power of a two-man machine in the hands of one. The right-angle design minimizes operator fatigue by eliminating torque kick-back to the operator. The one-man earth drill features a 7/8 square drive, tubular drive shaft and time-tested gearbox. Heavy-gauge steel is used throughout the manufacturing process, as well as Timken-tapered roller and ball bearings to produce a durable, low maintenance, and high-quality machine.
