Billy Goat Industries' Post Hole Auger Receives 2019 Editor's Choice Award
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.
