The T170HO Hole Borer, manufactured by Bluebird Industries, has a number of important features that ensure it is an ideal post hole borer for contractors, including the reliable Honda 4 stroke GCV160 petrol engine.
In addition to this, the hole borer also features a reduction gearbox for increased torque, and a clutch system so that if the auger catches the clutch will slip.
Another important feature, particularly for a larger machine, is the reverse facility on T170HO. This ensures that if the auger gets caught under a tree root, for example, it can be reversed and removed easily from the ground.
The T170HO Two-Man Hole Borer is supplied as the power unit only, and the augers are available separately.
