The primary difference is pulling capacity and power. The HP6500 "Boss Hog" delivers significantly higher line pull (40,000 lbs. vs. 24,000 lbs.) with a more powerful engine. The Hydra 985 provides substantial pulling force with a smaller engine. Both feature similar control systems, but the HP6500 is designed for longer cable runs and larger cable projects.
Hogg & Davis Hydra 985s are now available from Premier Truck Rental nationwide. These units offer 24,000 lbs. of line pull for T&D contractors and are perfect for underground cable installs and removals.
