The Ground Hog: Versatile ground tool not just for the health of the horse anymoreIn 1996, Raymond Lucas was attending one of many barrel racing events with his daughter and granddaughter. He took a look at the arena tool that was being used that day and thought to himself, "I can build one of those, and I can build it better." As the story has it, within a few weeks, Lucas had engineered and manufactured the original Ground Hog arena tool. As Lucas groomed the ground of his daughter's arena, he pondered more and more ways to perfect the tool, making improvements one by one. With each pass across the arena, a new customer was made. Everyone that witnessed the perfect arena soil realized that their horses were safer and running smoother on the consistent, flawlessly conditioned ground. Before he knew it, Lucas' phone was ringing off the wall with pleading calls, placing orders for his miraculous arena tool. Since the creation of the Ground Hog, continuous improvements and additions have been made. There are now 7 different sizes available to fit any tractor and will easily adapt to the versatility of any job at hand. Not only has the Ground Hog evolved into "the ultimate arena tool," it has now found its fame as a fundamental tool in landscaping and virtually has been proven to be the best all-around ground tool. This versatile tool features: --Hydraulically operated ripper shanks to eliminate the hard pan that typically develops in arenas; --Double grader blades to pulverize, level and redistribute the soil; --24 depth adjustable tines to comb the soil; --Finish roller that is tension adjustable with 94 clod breaking pegs to gently firm the soil. The Ground Hog stands out alongside all other ground working tools by doing the work of several different machines in one pass. Plowing, disking, leveling, scraping and pulverizing--all in one machine. That's what makes the Ground Hog the supreme machine for all types of dirt, gravel, sand and clay. Since the inception of the Ground Hog in 1996, it has been proven not only to be an excellent tool for the original purpose, the arena, but for landscapers, farmers, homeowners and hobbyists alike. The possibilities are endless for the ultimate ground tool. With so many different sizes available, there is no end to the potential of this machine. The original Ground Hog still is in place at the arena that Raymond Lucas' daughter, granddaughter, and countless others, have ran barrels thousands of times. With each pass of this ultimate tool, comes the peace of mind knowing that each horse running in that arena is safer and their legs, joints and hooves are healthier due to the perfection of the soil. With the progression of time, the Ground Hog has been proven to have endless possibilities. It's not just an arena tool any more.
