Overview
A chain trencher (part TY-050136M) for skid steers and compact loaders that cuts a 150 mm wide trench up to 800 mm deep for cables, irrigation and water pipes.
Clean, narrow trenches
The chain trencher cuts with a toothed chain driven by the carrier's auxiliary hydraulics. It digs a neat trench 150 mm wide and up to 800 mm deep, throwing the spoil to the side so it can be backfilled afterwards.
