Bobcat

Bobcat's LT414 trencher attachment features a 4- or 5-foot dig depth and is approved for operation on various Bobcat compact loaders with a high-flow auxiliary hydraulic system. The LT414 trencher is designed for medium- to high-production trenching applications such as utility installation projects. Standard with hydraulic side-shift, the trencher is built to achieve optimal productivity in all ground conditions, from black dirt to gravel. The side-shift feature provides the operator with flexibility when working next to buildings. The trencher also features a larger diameter auger with a tapered design that removes more material from the side of the trench, limiting the amount of spoil falling back into the trench.

Little Beaver

The Kwik-Trench earth saw from Little Beaver features a simple, push-forward design that meets the shallow trenching needs of rental centers, contractors and golf course superintendents for applications such as residential lawn sprinkler systems, electronic dog fencing, low-voltage wiring, plumbing and drainage lines, and more. The mini-trencher's compact size allows operators to get into areas inaccessible to full-size trenchers. With cutting speeds of up to 30 feet per minute, the Kwik-Trench is also designed to cut backfill time by making clean, narrow trenches and depositing the spoil next to the trench.

Caterpillar

The T6B trencher has a 36-inch boom for applications that don't require the digging depth of the more powerful Cat trenchers. The T6B is designed to work with standard-flow hydraulics. The direct-drive motor provides a balance of chain speed, torque and chain pull for maximum productivity in a variety of soil types. Cutting widths offered by the adjustable boom are 6, 8, 10 and 12 inches. The T6B offers optional manual or hydraulic side shift for close trenching near structures. Maximum side shift is 22 inches to the right of center. A large, adjustable auger handles spoil removal, and an optional bolt-on crumber bar guides loose spoil away from the trench.
