I want to make a 2 ft trencher for my bx25d. My issue is that I only have 17 inches available in order to complete the curl to put the trencher away on the backhoe. I have a quick removal for the bucket, so I have 2 thoughts. One is to make it at the desired depth and just not ever close the backhoe without removal, but I am worried that it might also touch the ground and not clear the ground at the bottom position. The other is to make it to the 17 inches I guess hand dig the remaining few inches. I will really only get 14-15 inches due to the fact that my 17 inch measurement includes part of the quick bucket attach. The trencher will be 4 inches wide and will hopefully, actually remove the material and not just scrape at it. My design started with a purchased 4 inch wide enormous bucket tooth I found. Here is the design so far and a picture of a similar tooth to the one I purchased. I think it is called a Twin Tiger
