Baumalight Trenchers

Trencher chains come with various tooth configurations including cup teeth for soft soil, shark teeth for mixed conditions, and carbide-tipped teeth for rocky terrain. Select chain style based on your primary soil type to maximize digging efficiency and extend tooth life.

Trencher size depends on required trench depth, width, and your carrier's hydraulic capacity. Match trencher specifications to your project needs, whether installing shallow irrigation lines or deeper utility conduits. Verify your machine meets minimum GPM flow requirements for proper chain speed.

Baumalight Trenchers cut through roots and compacted soil when equipped with appropriate teeth. Hardened or carbide teeth handle dense material better than standard cup teeth. Reduce ground speed in tough conditions to maintain cutting efficiency and prevent chain damage.

Trencher chain widths typically range from 4 to 12 inches depending on model and application. Narrow 4 to 6 inch trenches suit irrigation tubing and landscape lighting cables, while wider 8 to 12 inch trenches accommodate drainage pipe, electrical conduit, and water lines.

Check chain tension before each use and adjust when slack appears between the boom and chain. Baumalight Trenchers feature grease cylinder tensioners for quick adjustments using a standard grease gun. Proper tension prevents chain derailment and reduces wear on sprockets and guide bars.
