Check Out The New GroundHog Hydraulic Rotary Mechanical Quick Hitch.

[@christopherelliott2142]

I'm really impressed by the groundhog mini excavators, and all the attachments they have to use on them. I'm trying to find a way to get me one.

[@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator]

As of yesterday there are 27 GroundHog dealers across the country. If you call GroundHog Equipment in Middleburg PA at 570-765-9338 they can set you up with your nearest dealer. Thanks for watching!

[@christopherelliott2142]

I called and talked to Nick, there is a dealer about 2 hours away from me in Chapmanville WV. Love all your videos, ive watched them all.

[@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator]

@@christopherelliott2142 Well Good! Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!

[@urcindys]

Just when I thought I seen everything ! That is friggen SWEET

[@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator]

It is pretty cool. Nick Hackenberg is always adding attachments to the GroundHog inventory.

[@cobey24]

Gamechanger for sure....... did you get a new machine? Looks like a 14G-2.... nice!

[@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator]

Yes I bought a BH14G-2 for the channel. Its a very popular model and I thought it might help grow the channel.

[@cobey24]

Excellent choice! Best of luck with it!!!!! @@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator

[@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator]

@cobey24 Thanks!

[@ryanhansen8312]

Great video again! But man your audio is so low!

[@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator]

You should watch my newest video and let me know if the audio is any better. I just got a new phone but I'm still waiting on my new microphone.

[@josephtesta2144]

How’s it going, how much does this attachment go for? Very interested in these machines, would fit what I do perfect for the price point

[@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator]

Well your going to have to call Groundhog equipment and talk with Nick Hackenberg.. This was the first one he ordered and he loaned it to me to make a video. I'm not sure what he finally decided on the price point but I'm sure it will be very reasonable like all of his attachments. Give him a call.

[@josephtesta2144]

Thank you, I’ll give them a shout!!

[@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator]

@josephtesta2144 Sorry I couldn't be more help but these attachments haven't made it to my updated price sheets. Thanks for watching!

[@kevinramsey519]

Where did you get this rotary head and the grapple?? What did it cost?

[@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator]

That was actually the first one Groundhog Equipment got in and they loaned it to me to make some videos. Give Groundhog Equipment a call in Middleburg PA to see if they still have one in stock. Remember to ask about your Gardner's Groundhog's viewers appreciation Discount if you decide to buy one. Here is my Groundhog Equipment affiliate link that will take you directly to Groundhog Equipments website. Thanks for watching!www.groundhogequipment.com/?????tory&

[@geolt3]

Can this be used in tandem with a standard lew end log grappler?

[@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator]

This attachment will not work with the standard log grapples offered by Groundhog Equipment. Groundhog does offer a rotating log grapple which you can see in some of my other videos though. Hope this helps.

@@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator TY/, Just trying to save $ as I decide what to buy with a new 14 series mini. BTW, if you had only $12K for a mini-ex to partially clear some wooded acreage with sand and clay soil and make some trails, remove some stumps, what series, model, options and attachments would you buy?

[@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator]

@geolt3 Well with a 12 thousand dollar budget I would definitely look at the Groundhog BH14G-2. Which you can see in many of my videos. These normally start at $8,900 but go on sale a couple times a year leaving you some left over money for attachments, taxes ,and shipping. You'll get a 16 inch bucket and a hydraulic thumb that comes standard with the excavator. I would recommend buying a heavy duty ripper as your first multi purpose attachment. I've used my ripper to rip out stumps and roots. I've also used the ripper to break up old pavement, pick rocks, and move logs when used with the thumb. I would also recommend getting the internal and external counter weight package with it . This should keep you within your budget especially if you get one on sale. The KH14G and BH14G standard units have similar performance but already have the counter weight. These two machines are normally a little more money. The BH14G pro is going to eat up your budget pretty quickly and I would recommend waiting tilll it went on sale usually in December if you decided on it. The ZH12G is going to be your cheapest option but it is about 100 pounds lighter than the 14 series and I don't believe Groundhog Equipment offers any counter weight packages for it currently. Just my opinion. Hope it helps

[@geolt3]

@@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator Wow! Thanks for that awesome reply. I've been watching everyone's videos and reading thru all the GroundHog and dealer websites. What about the tracks? You mentioned that you like the steel tracks in one of your videos. If I am doing all of this in the woods, should I put that as a priority?

[@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator]

@@geolt3Well the the steel tracks are definitely the better way to go in the woods in my opinion but that being said I've been using rubber tracks on my BH14G-2 since I bought it. I'm just more cautious about skid steering over roots and rocks with it. Knock on wood I haven't thrown a track on it yet. The steel tracks definitely have better traction in mud which I noticed when pulling logs.

[@SearsProperty-s1t]

So is this a hydraulic rotary head that you put your quick attach on or is it built into the unit. I just bought a 14 series this weekend and really want this.

[@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator]

The quick hitch is part of the hydraulic rotary unit. You do not have to buy the quick hitch separately. The last time I was over to Groundhog equipment I noticed one of these on stock. Don't forget to mention my name to get your Gardner's Groundhog's viewers appreciation Discount at the time of purchase. Thanks for watching.

[@SearsProperty-s1t]

thanks man keep making the content!@@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator

[@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator]

@@SearsProperty-s1t Thanks and I will!

[@SearsProperty-s1t]

I feel like groundhogs attachments need updated on the website. I dont even see an option for the rotary tool@@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator

[@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator]

They tend to add to the inventory faster than they update. If you find a certain attachment they don't currently offer they can get it in most cases.
