By distributing the load between two operators, the C-71-5 provides superior control and stability when drilling through tough soil conditions.

Key Features

• Time-Tested Transmission: The heart of the C-71-5 is its efficient worm-drive transmission. Built with alloy steel shafts and large tapered roller bearings, it is designed to withstand decades of heavy use.

• Safety & Control: Both operator positions are equipped with individual stop switches for immediate shutdown capability. The tubular steel handlebars provide a secure, ergonomic grip for both users.

• Smooth Power Engagement: An air-cooled centrifugal clutch ensures smooth power transfer to the auger, while the trigger-type, return-style throttle allows for precise speed control.

• Industry Standard Drive: Features the standard 7/8” square auger drive, making it compatible with a vast array of Ground Hog augers up to 12 inches in diameter.

• Global Engine Support: Available with three premier engine options—Honda, Briggs & Stratton Intek, or Subaru—ensuring reliable starting and easy access to service parts worldwide.
