Boring Machine – Prairie Dog model 700TWG
This compact workhorse has the power you need to get through tough conditions but is small enough to use in confined spaces. Much more dependable, accurate and versatile than a missile.  All you need is a water supply not an expensive air compressor. This machine will easily fit in the back of a pickup or you can load it on a trailer with your mini-excavator and a portable water supply for a completely self contained boring rig you can haul with a 1/2 or 3/4 ton pickup. Not convinced it has the power to handle tough conditions?  Check out this demo we did on the yard boring through a 10" piece of concrete.  Pay particular attention to the lack of wear on the pilot bit and backreamer.  700TWG demo Can your missile do that?  Didn't think so!
