Product Description
Baumalight Trencher | Model TN-548 | Width 6" To 10" | Hydraulic Flow Range 15 To 25 GPM | For Skid Steers
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.
