Skid Steer Trenchers

A skid-steer trencher turns your loader into a dedicated utility machine that cuts consistent depths in tough soil conditions. It is a core part of our skid-steer trencher lineup, built for serious operators.

These trencher models use planetary drives and high torque to dig through clay, roots, and even rock and frost when paired with the right trencher chains. Many options support standard-flow skid machines, with select units rated for high-flow skid applications to boost speed.

Choosing the right trencher attachment for a skid steer means you get durability and reliability, plus the efficient trenching you need for years of work. From irrigation lines to deep utility services, these tools are made in the USA for demanding contractors. For other underground-focused tools, explore our broader Skid Steer Attachments category.

What Sets our Skid Steer Trenchers Apart

• Planetary Drive Power: Many skid steer trenchers feature a planetary drive that delivers high torque to the trencher boom, ideal for digging trenches in challenging soil conditions.

• Chain Configurations: We offer different chain options, including earth, combo, and rock teeth, so you can match chain configurations to specific ground conditions.

• Clean Trench Bottoms: Integrated crumber bars and side-auger systems help clear spoil, leaving a flat trench bottom ready for pipe or conduit.

• Built for Longevity: Heavy plate construction, protected hoses, and adjustable tension systems provide the durability you expect from heavy-duty American-built gear.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Skid Steer Trenchers

• Hydraulic Requirements: Verify your skid steer's GPM and pressure. Some trencher attachment models run on standard flow skid units, while others need high flow for maximum chain speed.

• Width and Depth: Match the width and depth to your job. Common width options range from 4" to 12", with digging depth up to and beyond 48 inches, depending on the model.

• Ground Conditions: Choose trencher chains with rock teeth or frost options if you frequently work in frozen ground or rocky soils.

• Machine Size: Ensure the trencher is compatible with your machine's weight class, from mini skid-steers to mid-sized skid-steer units.

• Control & Setup: Look for models with easy depth control, clear markings, and simple attachment to keep crews productive.
