Terra Trencher

PORTABLE TRENCHING SYSTEM

The TerraTrencher™ provides quick, easy, versatile trench digging when and where you need it.

Able to be used either freehand or with a Wheel Support accessory, it digs rapidly with little turf or ground disturbance. This allows rapid back-filling and quick site cleanup, increasing your productivity and profit on every job.

Terrasaw Trenchers

Powered by a high-quality Stihl powerhead, it is the professional contractor’s trencher of choice when space is tight. It digs with little turf disturbance, allowing rapid back-filling and site clean-up. Why spoil the environment with a big messy trench when 40mm wide is all you need? Long run trenches are a breeze with the optional wheel support in place.

The Wheel Support accessory is ideal for those longer trenches, and fits both TT 500 & 800.

South Island distributors. Shipping available.
*Price depends on engine model selected, ask us to recommend the ideal powerhead for your intended use.

POA

The TT 500/800 is a dedicated trencher:             

  • It cuts a neat trench 38-40mm wide. The TT500 digs up to 500mm deep and the TT 800 easily up to 670mm.
  • Components are industrial grade, it handles soil with aggregate up to the size of the trench.
  • Digging speed at full depth is close to a metre per minute in most soil types.
  • Safety chain brake and anti-vibration features are retained.
  • Wider trenches can be easily achieved using the twin trench method.
  • Soil is dispersed on approx. a 70 – 30 ratio each side of the trench.
  • The digging chain has self-sharpening teeth that will cut through tree roots up to approx. 30mm dia.
  • When anything solid in the ground is struck, an experienced operator will feel a bounce, rise over it and continue trenching. Removal of the obstruction is then done by hand pick.
  • The drive chain runs via a transfer case to the main digging chain.
  • The digging bar and chain is centred for ease of balance when digging a trench.
  • The digging bar sprockets have dirt ejectors to keep the digging chain running smoothly.
  • The Wheel Support makes digging long trenches easy and controls the depth to an even standard.
  • The trencher can be operated by hand for short runs (e.g. when trenching around curves or close to buildings) or in the Wheel Support for longer runs.
  • Both “Chipper” and “Gravel”pattern digging chains are supplied. Specific use of these is covered in the manual. Other specialised chain options (e.g. hard-faced) are available on request.
  • The TT 500 is a handy size, our most popular model for installing cable/fibre, irrigation lines, landscaping, agriculture and The TT 800 version digs to approx. 670mm easily and is favoured by electrical conduit installers and tree transplanters.
  • The TT 500 attachment weighs just 7.7kg and the TT 800 attachment weighs 9.1kg.

To drive these units we specify powerheads from the Stihl Professional range, selected to deliver the required torque and power. They also have superior air filtration, which we further enhance with our custom filter kits.
