Portable 40V MAX XGT Battery SiBore Drill for Micro Bore Soil Work
GeoRipper 40V MAX XGT Battery Powered SiBore Drill Micro Bore
The GeoRipper 40V MAX XGT Battery Powered SiBore Drill Micro Bore is a compact trenchless boring system designed for creating narrow underground passages beneath sidewalks, driveways, lawns, and other existing surfaces. Instead of opening a conventional trench, the SiBore allows suitable small-diameter lines and cables to be routed underground with minimal surface disturbance.
This battery-powered configuration uses a Makita 40V MAX XGT power system and is designed around the SiBore Micro Bore setup. It is an especially practical option for contractors who want the portability of a cordless machine without the fuel, exhaust, and routine small-engine maintenance associated with a gasoline-powered boring unit.
Key Features
Makita 40V MAX XGT battery-powered system
Compact horizontal micro-boring design
Designed for approximately 1-inch diameter boring
Intended for boring runs of up to approximately 24 feet
Enclosed, grease-lubricated transmission
Spur-gear reduction drive
Waterless boring operation
Compact and portable job-site design
Suitable for irrigation, landscaping, cable, wire, and other small underground installations
Compatible with the SiBore Micro Bore accessories and rod system
40V MAX XGT Battery Power
The electric Micro Bore configuration replaces the gasoline engine used on conventional SiBore models with a Makita 40V MAX XGT battery-powered motor.
This cordless setup eliminates the need for gasoline, fuel storage, engine priming, or pull-starting. It also produces no direct exhaust emissions during operation, making it well suited to outdoor work around residential properties, landscaped areas, and other locations where exhaust can be inconvenient.
The exact battery and charger package should be confirmed before purchase, as the drill configuration may be sold separately from the Makita battery and charging equipment.
Micro-Boring Capability
The Micro Bore system is designed for creating a relatively small underground passage rather than a wide conventional trench.
The documented Micro Bore configuration is intended to create a passage approximately 1 inch in diameter for runs of up to 24 feet, depending on ground conditions and the selected setup.
This makes it useful for applications where a small underground route is sufficient, such as:
Irrigation lines
Sprinkler systems
Landscape lighting
Low-voltage cable
Communication cable
Suitable small utility lines
Other small-diameter underground installations
Actual boring distance can vary considerably depending on soil type, roots, rocks, moisture, terrain, and operator technique.
Waterless Boring
The SiBore Micro Bore system uses a waterless boring process, eliminating the need to introduce water into the boring operation to create slurry.
This can reduce mud and cleanup around the work area and is particularly useful when boring beneath finished surfaces or established landscaping.
Waterless operation does not mean that every soil condition will be equally suitable. Hard, rocky, heavily rooted, or otherwise difficult ground can significantly affect boring performance.
Enclosed Reduction Transmission
The SiBore uses an enclosed, grease-lubricated transmission with spur-gear reduction. This mechanical drive transfers the electric motor's output to the boring assembly while providing the reduction required for the application.
The enclosed transmission helps protect internal components and keeps the grease contained within the gearbox during normal operation.
Compact & Portable Design
The Micro Bore system is designed for situations where bringing a large directional boring machine to the job site would be unnecessary or impractical.
Its compact format makes it easier to transport and position around:
Residential properties
Sidewalks
Driveways
Landscaped yards
Gardens
Narrow access areas
Existing hardscaped surfaces
The system can therefore provide a practical alternative to manually excavating an entire route.
Micro Bore Components
The Micro Bore configuration works with a rod-and-head system designed to extend the boring path.
The related SiBore Micro Bore package uses 36-inch boring rods, specialized boring heads, and a swivel cable puller. These components allow the operator to extend the underground route and pull a cable or suitable line through the completed passage.
When purchasing the drill-only configuration, verify which rods, boring heads, puller, stand, battery, and charger are included, as package contents can differ between configurations.
Typical Applications
Irrigation & Sprinkler Installation
Create narrow underground routes beneath sidewalks and driveways for irrigation and sprinkler lines.
Landscape Lighting
Route suitable lighting cables beneath established lawns, walkways, and landscaped areas while minimizing surface excavation.
Cable Installation
The small-bore format is useful for routing suitable communication, low-voltage, or other compatible cables.
Landscaping
Reduce the amount of surface disturbance when installing underground landscape systems.
Contractor Applications
The portable battery-powered format is suited to contractors who regularly perform short trenchless boring jobs.

Benefits of the Battery-Powered Configuration
The 40V MAX XGT version provides several practical advantages over a gasoline-powered SiBore.
No gasoline required: The operator does not need to transport or store fuel for the machine.
Simple startup: Battery-powered operation eliminates engine priming and pull-starting.
Reduced exhaust: The electric motor produces no direct exhaust emissions during operation.
Lower operating noise: Battery-powered equipment can be more appropriate for residential and landscaped environments where noise is a consideration.
Simplified maintenance: There is no gasoline engine oil, carburetor, spark plug, or fuel system to maintain.
Why Choose the GeoRipper 40V MAX XGT Micro Bore?
The GeoRipper 40V MAX XGT SiBore Micro Bore is intended for professionals who need to create narrow underground passages without resorting to large excavation equipment.
Its cordless 40V MAX XGT power system, waterless boring method, compact design, and approximately 1-inch Micro Bore capability make it particularly useful for irrigation, landscaping, lighting, and cable-installation work.
For jobs where preserving an existing sidewalk, driveway, lawn, or landscaped surface is important, the SiBore provides a specialized trenchless approach that can reduce the amount of excavation required.
Important Specification Note
The 40V MAX XGT Micro Bore configuration should not be confused with the gasoline-powered GX35 Micro Bore model or the 40V XGT 4-inch auger configuration. Those versions use different power systems and boring components.
Battery, charger, rods, boring heads, swivel, and motor-stand inclusion can vary depending on the exact package purchased. Verify the seller's package contents before ordering.
Actual boring depth, distance, and productivity depend on soil composition, roots, rocks, moisture, equipment configuration, and operator technique. Always identify underground utilities and follow the manufacturer's operating and safety procedures before beginning trenchless boring work.
