Lone Star Drills, a division of Little Beaver Inc. and manufacturer of portable drilling equipment, upgraded its HD and HDA model drills with Honda iGX800 engines, giving users increased responsiveness and power with an electronic governor that optimally adjusts the engine’s throttle to match the drill’s load.
The new engine comes standard on HD and HDA model soil sampling drills and is an optional upgrade for all hydraulic drills. The engine upgrade is recommended for all high-torque hydraulic drills, including parent company Little Beaver’s Big Beaver earth drill.
The iGX800’s electric, self-tuning regulator governor maximizes performance during varying loads when encountering different soil densities and obstructions.
