DESCRIPTION
When trenching in tight areas is non-negotiable, trust the Baumalight TN236 Trencher engineered specifically for mini skid steers and mini track loaders weighing 1,500–4,000 lbs. This 36-inch deep trencher is your go-to attachment for fast, efficient trenching in challenging spaces where larger equipment can’t maneuver.
Powered by a direct-drive hydraulic system, the TN236 delivers trenching performance without the maintenance headaches of roller chains. Its rugged design, solid steel nose, and side auger make it ideal for landscapers, contractors, and utility professionals who demand durability, simplicity, and precision.
