Chainsaw trencher

[stihl sawing]

I want one of these, but not at that price. Don't know what that would equal in us bucks. Wonder if it sells by itself without the saw. I could have used that many times.

Doesn't look like it makes a very wide trench. Might work OK for sandy/loamy soil but I bet a total fail on any rocky stuff. I wonder what the life of the clutch and associated parts would be, not long I suspect.

It would be wide enough for what I'd use it for, 3/4 inch PVC line and electrical lines., It probably wouldn't be no good in rocky areas, but nothing else is either unless it's a backhoe.

Oh yeah, Now I really want one.lol

Perfect for putting in those under ground dog fences and similar.

Would rather rent a trencher. Couldn't see a practical use for a tool like this realistically capable making a 4"-6" deep trench in favorable soil conditions.

There's things it would be nice for, Granted putting down water lines up north would not be one of them. It won't go deep enough. I see it for electrical lines and other things but the price kills it for me. I don't know how much 4400 equals in us dollars but it's probably too much.

Approximately $3600.00 usd.

 

[stihl sawing]

Yup, too much.

 

[svk]

Yeah. You are looking at a $1200 saw so to ask $2400 attachment is beyond steep.

 

[Jimbo209]

Got one here about $3000 aid I'd that helps out. Can send just attachment or whole thing to you.
Look for a terra trencher T500 in kwinana on Gumtree.com.au

They go up to 27" deep

my neighbor bought a $100 saw to put in about 500 feet of underground dog fence about 8 inches deep. worked great.
not sure what he did with saw but it still ran ok. b/c of course scrap.

Cheap bar and chain. Important is put the chain on backwards.
