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
