BravePro Hydra Buddy 2,000 PSI Skid-Mount Hydraulic Power Pack with Honda GX390 Electric Start (HBHS310GXE)
2,000 PSI • 7 GPM Flow • Honda GX390 Engine • Electric Start • Skid-Mount Design
Bring dependable hydraulic power to remote jobsites with the BravePro HBHS310GXE Hydra Buddy Hydraulic Power Pack. Designed for mounting to a trailer, service vehicle, or compatible equipment platform, this self-contained unit provides up to 2,000 PSI and 7 GPM for operating properly matched hydraulic equipment where tractor hydraulics, electricity, or compressed air are unavailable.
A commercial-grade 389cc Honda GX390 engine powers the hydraulic pump, while electric starting provides convenient operation throughout the workday. The skid-mounted configuration offers a secure installation and can also be moved into position with suitable material-handling equipment.

Important Hydraulic Compatibility Information
This unit is not intended for connection to a closed-center hydraulic system. The pressure, flow, reservoir capacity, hose sizes, fittings, control valve, and duty cycle must all be compatible with the attached equipment.
The HBHS310GXE includes a system relief valve but does not come standard with the directional-control valve required for many cylinder-powered applications. A suitable valve and plumbing kit must be purchased separately when required.
The power pack must be fully connected to a compatible hydraulic circuit before starting. Operating an HBHS unit without a properly connected implement can damage the engine or hydraulic components.
Important Setup Information
The engine crankcase and hydraulic reservoir may be shipped without oil. Before starting the unit:
- Add the engine oil specified in the Honda engine manual.
- Fill the hydraulic reservoir with the recommended hydraulic fluid.
- Inspect all hoses, fittings, and hydraulic components.
- Confirm that the attached implement is compatible.
- Check the fuel system for leaks.
- Fill the engine tank with fresh unleaded gasoline.
Never check for hydraulic leaks with your hands. Escaping high-pressure fluid can penetrate the skin and cause severe injury. Use cardboard or wood to locate suspected leaks and completely relieve system pressure before loosening hydraulic components.
- Mounts securely to your trailer or application
- Spin-on hydraulic return filter with indicator
- System relief valve
- Compatible for use with single or double-acting cylinders
- Large hydraulic oil tank with sight / temperature gauge
- Fork lift accessible
