BravePro Hydra Buddy 3,000 PSI Skid-Mount Hydraulic Power Pack with Honda GX390 (HBHS300GX)

3,000 PSI • 5 GPM Hydraulic Flow • Honda GX390 Engine • Recoil Start • Skid-Mount Design

Bring reliable hydraulic power to remote jobsites with the BravePro HBHS300GX Hydra Buddy Hydraulic Power Pack. Powered by a commercial-grade 390cc Honda GX390 gasoline engine, this self-contained unit delivers up to 3,000 PSI at 5 GPM for operating properly matched hydraulic equipment where tractor hydraulics, electricity, or compressed air are unavailable.

The heavy-duty skid-mount frame can be secured to a trailer, service vehicle, barge, or compatible equipment platform. Forklift-accessible construction also makes the power pack easier to move around a shop or jobsite.

Key Features & Benefits

  • 3,000 PSI Maximum Hydraulic Pressure
    Provides high-pressure hydraulic power for demanding equipment and applications.
  • 5 GPM Hydraulic Flow
    Supplies consistent flow to properly matched cylinders, hydraulic motors, conveyors, augers, lifts, and other implements.
  • Honda GX390 Engine
    Commercial-grade gasoline engine provides dependable power for remote and mobile hydraulic applications.
  • Recoil Starting System
    Straightforward pull-start operation eliminates the need for a starting battery.
  • Self-Contained Hydraulic Power
    Reduces the need to run a tractor solely to power compatible hydraulic equipment.
  • Single- and Double-Acting Cylinder Compatibility
    Can support properly configured single- or double-acting hydraulic cylinders when equipped with the required valve and plumbing.
  • Skid-Mount Frame
    Mounts securely to a trailer, truck, machinery platform, or other suitable structure.
  • Forklift Accessible
    The skid configuration allows the unit to be transported and positioned with compatible lifting equipment.
  • Hydraulic Sight and Temperature Gauge
    Allows the operator to monitor hydraulic-fluid level and operating temperature.
  • Filter-Condition Indicator
    Helps determine when the hydraulic return filter requires service.
  • System Relief Protection
    Helps protect the hydraulic system against excessive pressure.
  • Heavy-Duty Steel Reservoir
    Constructed from 12-gauge steel for demanding jobsite and equipment applications.

Ideal Applications

The BravePro HBHS300GX is suitable for properly matched equipment used in:

  • Agriculture and farming
  • Construction and contracting
  • Equipment repair
  • Mobile fabrication
  • Material-handling systems
  • Hydraulic conveyors
  • Hydraulic augers
  • Lifts and jacks
  • Hydraulic motors
  • Remote jobsite equipment
  • Trailer-mounted hydraulic systems

Hydraulic pressure, flow, reservoir capacity, connection sizes, duty cycle, and oil-temperature requirements must all be evaluated before connecting an implement.

Hydraulic Reservoir and Monitoring

The HBHS300GX uses a large steel hydraulic reservoir with three published capacity measurements:

  • Nominal capacity: 9.7 gallons
  • Actual capacity: 8.5 gallons
  • Usable capacity: 5.75 gallons

A combination sight and temperature gauge helps monitor fluid condition during operation. The return-line filtration system includes a filter indicator to assist with maintenance scheduling.

The hydraulic specifications are published for model HBHS300GX. The dimensions and dry weight should be verified against the current-production unit before designing a permanent mounting location.

Optional Directional-Control Valve

The standard power pack does not include the four-way directional-control valve required for many cylinder-powered applications.

A compatible three-position, four-way valve kit is available separately for installations that require controlled extension, neutral positioning, and retraction of a hydraulic cylinder.

Important Hydraulic Compatibility Information

This power pack is not intended to be connected to a closed-center hydraulic system. Confirm that the attached equipment is designed for the unit’s hydraulic circuit, pressure, and flow.

Before installation, verify:

  • Required hydraulic pressure and flow
  • Open-center circuit compatibility
  • Hose and fitting pressure ratings
  • Supply and return connection sizes
  • Directional-control valve requirements
  • Reservoir and cooling requirements
  • Hydraulic-fluid specifications
  • Expected operating duty cycle

A compatible loop hose or connected hydraulic circuit may be required before starting the power pack without an implement. Starting the engine with the hydraulic system deadheaded can damage the engine, pump, or other hydraulic components.
