What is a trencher good for?
A trencher cuts a narrow, even channel for irrigation, drainage and utility lines far faster than digging by hand.
- Irrigation and sprinkler lines
- Drainage lines and french drains
- Electrical, water and cable runs
- Wide or deep excavation: a mini excavator
- Post holes: an auger
Walk-behind trenchers work well for most residential jobs and cost less, while ride-on trenchers handle longer runs, harder soil, and larger commercial projects more efficiently. Choose based on your project size, soil conditions, and trench length.

How do I transport a walk-behind trencher?
Walk-behind trenchers typically weigh 400 to 2,100 lb, depending on size; this listing doesn't give the unit's own weight. The lighter ones go into a pickup bed with ramps; the heavier ones need a trailer (a single-axle 5 x 8 ft utility trailer typically carries 2,332 to 2,340 lb). Ask the lister for this machine's weight before you plan the haul.
What size trencher do I need for my project?
Handheld or mini trenchers cut 1 to 2 inch slots 4 to 8 inches deep for lighting wire, while walk-behinds cut 4 to 12 inches wide and up to 48 inches deep. Most irrigation lines need a 4 to 6 inch walk-behind.
