Description

Brown Products B-765 Bantam Mole Wire Installer

The Brown Products B-765 Bantam Mole is a compact, lightweight wire installation machine powered by a Honda GX200 commercial engine. Built on the BedEdger Bantam frame, the B-765 is specifically designed to install low-voltage wire and invisible dog fence in a single operation, digging the trench, guiding the wire to the bottom, and covering the trench in one continuous pass. At 125 pounds, it delivers the power and versatility of a full-size wire installer in a package that one operator can handle throughout the day without fatigue.

Bantam Platform Advantages

The Bantam Mole is built on the BedEdger Bantam frame, a design that prioritizes maneuverability and compactness without sacrificing the structural integrity needed for daily commercial use. The frame geometry provides excellent stability on residential lawns, parks, and commercial turf areas, and the pull-unit configuration uses the machine’s own weight to assist the digging action, reducing the physical effort required from the operator on long production runs.

Differentiation from the B-770

The B-765 and B-770 Bantam Mole models are mechanically identical in frame design, rotor system, and operational capability, differentiated by engine selection. The B-765 is fitted with the Honda GX200 for operators who prefer Honda’s reliability and service network, while the B-770 uses the Kohler CH270 7HP commercial engine for those with a preference for Kohler power or who operate mixed-brand equipment fleets. Both models offer the same depth range, production rates, and rotor compatibility.

Build and Service

Designed and manufactured in Alabama, USA, the B-765 ships pre-assembled via motor freight and is ready for immediate use. The single-nut rotor change system enables fast field transitions between wire installation depth configurations, and the belt drive is designed for straightforward field service without special tooling.

Comparing the B-765 to Full-Size Bantam Mole Models

The B-765 Honda and B-770 Kohler Bantam Moles both use the same frame, rotor system, and operational design – differentiated only by engine selection. Both machines are rated at 125 lbs and deliver the same depth range and production rate. For crews with existing Honda-powered equipment, the B-765 provides engine parts and service continuity. For crews with Kohler-powered fleets, the B-770 provides the same advantage. In addition to the standard Bantam Mole models, the Bantam platform also supports the B590H-DI Drip Irrigation Installer and B790H-CL Cable Layer variants, which use the same frame with specialized installation tooling for drip tubing and cable burial applications respectively. All Bantam platform machines are manufactured in Alabama, USA, and ship pre-assembled via motor freight.

The B-765 ships pre-assembled from Alabama and is covered by a 1-year limited warranty for commercial and rental use.
