When you need to cut clean, consistent trenches for water lines, cable lines, electrical, or drainage work, a back hoe isn’t always the answer. You may need a compact, nimble skid steer equipped with the right attachment. That’s where Star’s Skid Steer Trencher comes in. This rugged attachment transforms a skid steer into a digging powerhouse.
Why Star’s Trencher Is a Cut Above the Rest
A skid steer trencher attachment is an indispensable tool that makes it possible to dig narrow, precise trenches quickly and efficiently. The trencher uses a powerful chain and teeth mechanism attached to the skid steer to cut through dirt, rock, and thick frost to create trenches of varying depths and widths.
Key Features:
- Crumber bar and blade ensures clean trench bottoms
- Multiple chain styles and widths for different soil types and trench specs
- Built-in depth indicator for easy operation and accuracy
- Full rock guard for added protection
