This item is offered with local pickup only- NO shipping is offered Up for offer is a Ground Hog T-4 trencher . The unit is basically complete, but has been sitting unused for some time. We were able to get the engine to fire on a prime, but it would not stay running. The gear reduction gearbox is functional, and the trenching chain and side auger did turn under power. The unit will require work and effort to make fully functional again, but at our .99 cent starting price and a silly low reserve- how can you go wrong? (this unit sells for 2700.oo when new!) - Easy to use, operator-friendly controls - Low Maintenance - Fits through narrow gates and doorways - Will trench close to walls, fences, etc. - Heavy gauge steel unibody frame - Durable powder coated finish - Choice of carbide tipped Shark Teeth or carbide tipped Bullet Teeth - Solid roller digging chain for increased life - Wide pneumatic tires with tubes - Centrifugal clutch equipped with needle bearings and all metal drum and shoes engine options; Honda 5.5hp (4kw), Note: The T-4 Trencher is not Self-Propelled. Engine Power 4 kw (Honda GC160 5.5hp) Maximum Trench Depth 12 or 18 inches (depends on model) Trench Width 3 or 4 inches (depends on model) Maximum Chain Speed 180 feet/Minute (60 meters/Minute) Weight 230 lbs. (104.5 kg) Length 60 inches (152 cm) Width 24 inches (61 cm) Height 41 inches (104 cm) The Ground Hog T-4 Trencher is a small, operator propelled, chain-type trencher designed for jobs requiring up to a 12 or 18 inch deep trench. Heavy gauge powder coated steel is used throughout the T-4's construction as well as tapered roller bearings and double-row ball bearings to ensure trouble-free service. Over 60 years of experience in the Rental, Construction and Landscape industries has produced a design that is very durable and easy to maintain, which leads to a fast return on investment. The T-4’s narrow, compact design allows easy access around the job site and it easily fits through gates and doorways. The T-4 is also easier to use and transport than larger trenchers. The simplified operator controls help make the machine less intimidating to operators unfamiliar with using outdoor power equipment. The Ground Hog T-4 uses a unique ratchet mechanism on the wheels to help prevent the machine from pulling away from the trenching direction. This greatly aids the operator while trenching and allows the trencher to do the digging while the side delivery auger piles the dirt up neatly beside the trench. When the depth control handle is moved to one of the 3 digging positions the wheel ratchets engage allowing the wheels to only roll in the trenching direction. This unit is offered as a restoration project - it is NOT functional as it is now. It is basically complete , the tires do hold air, the gearbox works, the depth control lever and wheel brakes do work, but the engine does not currently run, the belt cover is missing , the throttle cable is frozen, and there may be other needs that were not obvious to us at the time of inspection. If you are not mechanically inclined, or don't have a friend who is - you may wish to avoid this offer. We will provide an operator manual reprint and a parts list reprint for the new owners convenience. OFFERED WITH LOW RESERVE! Available for immediate PICKUP!!
