Product Overview
A trencher turns your skid steer into a precision digging machine for utility lines, irrigation pipes, and drainage systems. It cuts narrow, straight trenches at consistent depths—something a standard bucket can't do. The TGEC trencher uses a hydraulic-driven chain fitted with replaceable cutting teeth, with boom configurations available to match your depth requirements and machine size.
Four configurations cover the spectrum: TG-TCR910(36IN)-MP600 and TG-TCR910(36IN)-MP910 for mini and compact loaders, TG-TCR960(38IN)-MP1220 for mid-frame machines, and TG-TCR1220(48IN)-MP1220 for deeper trenching on larger carriers. Every model in the skid steer trenchers range includes a heavy-duty chain drive, replaceable teeth, and configurable hydraulic hose lengths.

How It Works
Hydraulic power drives a heavy-duty roller chain fitted with carbide-tipped cutting teeth. As the chain rotates, the teeth cut and lift soil from the trench while the boom assembly controls digging depth through adjustable stops. Lower the trencher to depth, drive forward at a steady pace, and the chain continuously excavates a clean, narrow trench. Depth adjustments are made by setting the boom position or using optional depth control kits.
Application Scenarios
Utility installation: Digging narrow trenches for electrical conduit, fiber optic cable, gas lines and water mains on residential, commercial and municipal projects.
Irrigation installation: Creating consistent-depth trenches for sprinkler systems, drip irrigation lines and agricultural water distribution on farms, golf courses and landscapes.
Landscape drainage: Trenching for French drains, surface drainage systems and underground downspout extensions on residential and commercial properties.
Road and highway construction: Cutting edge trenches for road drainage, cable conduits and utility relocations along highway and street construction projects.
Fencing and signage: Digging narrow trenches for underground fence wiring, security systems and illuminated signage on commercial and industrial sites.
Agricultural field drainage: Installing subsurface drainage tile lines to improve field drainage and crop yields on poorly drained farmland.
Installation & Mounting
The trencher attaches to your skid steer using the appropriate quick-attach mount — MP600, MP910, or MP1220 depending on the model. Align the mounting frame with the machine quick-attach, lock it in place, then connect the auxiliary hydraulic hoses to the machine couplers. Verify that your auxiliary flow and pressure fall within the specified range before operation. Check chain tension and tooth condition before first use. Custom mounting plates and hose kits are available for non-standard interfaces.
Wear & Service
Primary wear items include cutting teeth, trencher chain, boom wear strips, hydraulic motor and hoses, and mounting plate pins. Inspect cutting teeth regularly for wear, cracking or missing carbide tips, and replace individual teeth as needed. Check chain tension and lubrication per the maintenance schedule. Inspect the hydraulic motor and hoses for leaks or unusual noise, and grease all pivot points. Genuine replacement parts — teeth, chain sections, seal kits, and hose assemblies — are available for all four configurations.
OEM & Bulk Supply
TGEC supplies skid steer trenchers to equipment dealers, rental fleets, landscape contractors and utility contractors through OEM and bulk-supply programs. Private-label branding, custom paint colors, modified mounting plates, and alternative boom or chain configurations are available for qualified partners. Dealers can combine trencher orders with other TGEC attachments to simplify sourcing and shipping. Contact our OEM sales team with your specifications and estimated quantities.
Installing utilities, laying irrigation, or cutting drainage trenches — what's your primary job with the trencher?
We'll need your machine make and model, operating weight, auxiliary flow and pressure, target trench depth and width, and a description of your typical soil conditions. Also let us know which TG-TCR configuration you're considering — 910, 960, or 1220. We'll confirm compatibility, recommend the right setup, and get back with a quote and delivery timing.
