Small Engines Run Portable Hydraulic Units
Farmers, hobby farmers, and handymen who need hydraulic power but don’t always have a tractor readily available can opt for small engine-powered portable hydraulic packs. Northern Tool & Equipment sells different models of the Hydra Buddy that deliver enough gallons-per-minute flow to run conveyors, augers, lifts and a variety of hydraulic motors, including log splitters.
  Northern’s number one seller is the Brave, a wheeled model with a 270 cc Honda engine. It has 10.3-gal. capacity with a flow rate of 7 gpm at 1,500 psi. It sells for $1,599. The Brave Pro model has a 160 cc Honda engine that operates at 3,600 rpm’s and delivers 7 gpm at 900 psi through a Haldex single-stage pump. It sells for $1,099 and an optional wheel kit sells for $139.99. Both units have 1/2-in. stainless steel quick-connect inlet and outlet ports.
  Hydra-Tech offers more than a dozen different wheeled portable units with reliable Honda or Kohler electric-start gas engines, variable speed throttle controls, and gear-type pumps that deliver reliable power for continuous duty or on-location projects. All models have oil coolers, return filters with spin-on cartridges and remote pressure control valves. Output varies depending on engine sizes, which range from 6 to 18 hp. Trailerable models from 25 to more than 100 hp. are ideal for commercial applications.
