Wheel Trencher

Frank Sorbello · Oct 22, 2013

For those that have or have used a wheel trencher, can you turn while trenching? If so what is about the tightest turn you can make while operating?

Thanks
Frank

yes you can turn and radius of turn depends on the trencher size and depth of cut.

Received new wheel trencher and offset on Friday. Very happy with the trencher. In the process of making my own blade. I thought the offset would be adjustable before I ordered. It's not. Oh well.

Ok. Help me out. Can I see pix of he trencher and especially the offset? The offset really interests me.

Also how and why are you making your own new wheel?

I will take a picture of the offset. I am making a blade that will saw the ground versus digging a wide trench. I want to be able to dig down 12" but want the width of the trench to be as narrow as possible. I bury a lot of wire and cable. I don't need the trench to be any wider than 1/2".

I haven't put the offset on yet. It will put the blade to about the outside of the tire.

I am intrigued how it all hooks up. I have always wanted to offset some of my implements, I know it can cause issues but if Icould move my mower off to the side for road work that would be great. I am also still holding the dream of making my own stump grinder which I think is the same as the wheel trencher.
