LEE'S SUMMIT, Mo., Feb. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Recognized for its
innovation and utility within the rental market, the Billy
Goat® AGR1300H Post Hole Auger is among the winners of
the 2019 Editor's Choice Award from Rental, an AC Business
Media publication.
Billy Goat's AGR1300H Auger, the only dedicated self-propelled
auger in the market features the highest bit torque in its class;
lift assist struts; and a Patent Pending Z-Link™ for straight line
drilling with limited repositioning - for unmatched functionality
and one-person operation.
The unit's intuitive hydro-drive controls are common to our sod
cutter, aerators, overseeder and brush cutters for ease of customer
experience across multiple products and standardized fleet
management. Variable speed forward and reverse is standard and the
drive is separate from drill, eliminating the need to switch to
drive or drill mode.
For uneven or hilly terrain, a foot-operated spring-loaded
parking brake on both rear wheels helps to stabilize the machine,
and a rotating, lockable head makes it easy for straight line
drilling. Pivoting front casters and high-flotation rear turf tires
provide smooth transport to the job site and from hole to hole. The
rig also fits through a 36-inch gate seamlessly.
For customers' simple transport, the unit fits in the back of a
6' pickup truck with the bit on and eliminates towing! And, for
customers' ease of operation, Billy Goat's Text to Video,* featured
from a label on the machine, readily offers instruction for
start-up and operation via video from a mobile device.
The unit comes standard with a 13 gross
HP†, 390cc Honda® GXV that
powers a 10 GPM pump / motor package and produces up to 350 foot
pounds of torque for the highest bit torque in its class. Further,
the unit easily handles 2- to 18-inch bits.

†Power rated by engine manufacturer.
