Product Details

Ground Hog HD99 – Maximum Power, Zero Hassle Struggling with tough digging jobs that take forever with a manual post hole digger?

This powerful hydraulic earth drill is built to change the way you approach ground preparation and post hole drilling. Designed for professionals and serious property owners, it brings industrial-level digging performance to a one-person operation without sacrificing control or durability.

Under the hood, a reliable 9 HP Honda or Subaru engine drives a hydraulic system capable of variable auger speed and reverse rotation—so you can adapt to soil conditions or back out cleanly if the bit binds. This reduces the frustration and downtime that come with inferior drills.

Its towable, balanced design keeps torque away from the operator while you work, so you get smooth, powerful drilling with minimal physical strain. Three adjustable handlebar positions give you flexibility for normal drilling or close-in work near fences, walls, and landscaping features.

Built for versatility, the drilling head pivots to handle uneven terrain, and a large 7/8" square auger drive accepts bits up to 18 inches in diameter, making it suitable for fence posts, deck footings, sign installations, and more. Durable, highway-rated pneumatic tires make moving the unit across job sites or towing it behind a vehicle easy.

High-pressure hydraulic swivels provide free movement of the digging head and longer hose life, and heavy-duty construction with replaceable pivot bushings ensures this earth drill stands up to repeated use in tough conditions.

Whether you’re clearing acreage, installing heavy fencing, or preparing structural footings, this hydraulic earth drill gives you the strength and control you need to get the job done faster and with less strain.
