Trenching with a tractor mounted trencher makes the task of digging trenches for cables, piPer or irrigation incredibly easy. Because it doesn’t require hand or machine digging, this attachment draws on the power of your tractor to open a clean, slender trench all at once. In this article, we’ll explain how it works, where it’s used, and why more people are turning to it.
What Does It Actually Do?
This device attaches to the rear of your tractor. While you are moving forward, a drilling blade cuts a narrow furrow in the ground. You can then pop cables, water pipes or fiber lines straight into it.
Just like that: less effort, more speed, cleaner results.
Where Is It Most Useful?
• On farms on which drip-irrigation statements
• Laying power cables

Yes. The majority of them use a 3-pt hitch. That is to say, you can hook it onto the standard tractor lickety-split. Only a couple of bolts and a shaft joint. For 30–60 HP tractors.
Tips for Best Results
• Use the right blade for your soil type
• Keep tractor speed steady
• Be careful in rocky ground
• Adjust the depth of the trench before you begin
Adhere to these and your machine will outlast and outpace the rest.
