Baumalight Trencher | Model TN-548 | Width 6" - 10" | Horsepower 40-100 HP | For Tractors
DESCRIPTION
When it comes to tough trenching tasks, the Baumalight TN548 Trencher is built to perform with strength, efficiency, and reliability. Designed for universal skid steers (3,000 – 7,000 lbs) and compatible with tractors via an optional 3-point hitch mount, this trencher makes light work of burying cables, utility lines, and irrigation systems.
With the ability to cut trenches up to 48 inches deep and 6 to 10 inches wide, depending on your chain selection, the TN548 delivers consistent results across a variety of soil conditions. It’s equipped with a sealed planetary drive system that maximizes torque and eliminates roller chains resulting in smoother, more dependable operation. Whether you're tackling soft ground or rocky terrain, the TN548 offers customization through multiple chain options, including standard cup tooth and mixed rock-tooth styles.
This trencher isn’t just muscle it’s smart too. The TN548 is engineered with serviceability and control in mind, offering features like an adjustable chain tensioner, side auger for clean trenching, and an integrated crumb scraper bar for efficient dirt removal. Its solid steel nose ensures durability where it counts, while optional control kits allow operation even with tractors that have only one hydraulic remote.
Whether you're a contractor, landowner, or utility professional, the Baumalight TN548 gives you professional-grade trenching in a rugged, operator-friendly package.

D001393 OR D003074 - 3 POINT HITCH TRENCHER ADAPTOR (BOLT ON - DOES NOT INCLUDE S1050) (OPTIONAL) |
This Baumalight Trencher can also be mounted to a tractor. The optional 3-point hitch tractor mount has a cylinder that provides angle and depth control. To use this 3PH adapter, your tractor must have a hydro-static drive. Two hydraulic remotes are required, kits are available for tractors with only one set of external hydraulic connections. |
|
|
S1050 - 3PH EXTERNAL CONTROL (OPTIONAL) |
This optional external control kit is mounted on an adjustable arm. The control is great for smaller tractors with limited HP and for tractors with only one hydraulic remote. Part number S1050 - Valve kit for tractors with one remote (add $550 if shipping for field install). |
|
|
SIDE AUGER |
Baumalight Trenchers are designed with a convenient side auger. The side auger keeps the dirt clear from the trenching action but still near the trench when it’s time for back filling. |  |
|
CRUMB SCRAPER BAR |
The Trencher has a crumb scraper bar as standard equipment, this helps to scrape and sweep extra dirt and debris into the chain where it is lifted out of the trench. The heavy construction and hinged design mean that the scraper performs no matter what depth of trench you are digging. |  |
|
PLANETARY DRIVE SYSTEM |
The sealed drive keeps the dirt out and the trencher going. The compact and stron g planetary drive unit delivers the hydraulic power directly to the sprocket of the digging chain for good digging performance. There are no roller chains that jump or stretch. Maximum torque transfer. The motor is mounted directly in-line with the main sprocket. |  |
|
SOLID STEEL NOSE |
The Baumalight Trencher’s heavy duty nose is precision machined from a piece of solid steel. It runs freely on dual tapered roller bearings to deal with the extreme forces of trenching. Dirt is the enemy of all bearings. A precision machined washer protects the bearings from rocks and dirt. This initial barricade is reinforced by the rubber seal on the bearings, finishing the job is the easily accessible grease fitting which keeps the bearings lubricated and protected from moisture and keeps our nose running freely. |  |
|
ADJUSTABLE CHAIN TENSION |
Adjusting the chain tension with a couple of pumps. The grease cylinder tensioner allows you to adjust the tension of the chain quickly with only a grease gun. By applying grease to an internal cylinder the roller nose is pushed forward taking the slack out of the chain. What could be a long frustrating process is now a few quick pumps. |  |
