Premier Attachments Skid Steer Trencher

Premier Trenchers are designed for excavating narrow, controlled trenches using skid steer loaders and mini skid steer loaders. They are suitable for applications where a consistent trench is needed for tasks such as installing underground utilities, irrigation systems, drainage lines, cables, pipes, and other buried infrastructure. The available models provide different chain widths and hydraulic-flow requirements, allowing customers to match the trencher to their machine and the required trench dimensions.

The Premier Duo-Tach® Trencher Attachment is available in T100-I and T125-I models, with chain widths of 4", 6", 8", 10", and 12" and a hydraulic flow requirement of 8–15 GPM. The Premier T155–T350 Trencher range is designed for skid steers, with a maximum trench width of 12" and hydraulic requirements of 15–45 GPM. These model and size options provide flexibility for different skid steer and mini skid steer applications.

Premier offers several optional trencher chain configurations, including the 50/50 Bullet Chain, Shark Tooth Chain, and 70/30 Scorpion Tooth Chain. These wear-part options allow customers to select a chain style suited to the material and trenching conditions they expect to encounter. Since chain configuration affects the cutting arrangement of the trencher, customers should review the individual chain specifications and application requirements before selecting their preferred wear parts.

Hydraulic-flow requirements depend on the Premier trencher model. The Duo-Tach® T100-I and T125-I models require 8–15 GPM, making them applicable to machines within that hydraulic-flow range. The T155–T350 Premier Trenchers require 15–45 GPM and are designed for skid steers. Matching the attachment's GPM requirement to the loader's available auxiliary hydraulic flow is important for proper equipment compatibility. Always verify the specifications of the specific trencher and host machine before purchase.

Start by identifying the machine you will use, including whether it is a mini skid steer or full-size skid steer, and confirm its available auxiliary hydraulic flow. Next, determine the trench width required for your project. The Duo-Tach® range offers 4" through 12" chain widths, while the T155–T350 range provides trenching up to 12" maximum width. Finally, consider the material being excavated and select the appropriate chain style—50/50 Bullet, Shark Tooth, or 70/30 Scorpion Tooth—based on the application and available wear-part configuration.

Before purchasing, confirm the Premier model, machine type, hydraulic flow requirement, desired trench width, and chain configuration. For Duo-Tach® models, verify compatibility with a mini skid steer or skid steer and ensure the machine can provide 8–15 GPM. For T155–T350 models, confirm that the skid steer meets the 15–45 GPM requirement and that the required trench width is within the attachment's 12" maximum. If replacement or optional wear parts are needed, also select the correct chain style and configuration for the intended trenching work.
