# What is a Trencher Attachment Used For?

A trencher attachment cuts narrow, deep channels in the ground for installing underground utilities, irrigation, and drainage systems.

**Common Trencher Applications:**

- **Irrigation lines** – Installing sprinkler systems for lawns
- **Electrical conduit** – Burying power lines and landscape lighting
- **Drainage systems** – French drains, downspout extensions
- **Gas line installation** – Underground propane and natural gas lines
- **Fiber optic cable** – Data and communication line burial

**Trencher Specifications:**

- Typical width: 4–8 inches
- Typical depth: Up to 48 inches
- Speed: 5–15 feet per minute depending on soil

**Trencher vs. Excavator:**

Use a trencher for long, narrow, consistent-depth trenches. Use an excavator for wider digs, varying depths, or rocky soil.

**Rental Info:**

Available as an add-on to our track loader rentals. Delivery $100, pickup $100. Call (713) 375-4205.
