With its compact size and weight of 1,085 pounds, our Barreto walk behind trencher rental is a self-propelled, tracked trencher with no belts, gears, or chains. A lower center of gravity provides stability. The outboard bearing is designed to protect the auger shaft from the bending that is sometimes caused by the impact of rocks or other debris when trenching.
Efficient and functional, the Barreto Walk-Behind Trencher has an innovative track system and compact frame design provide both stability and maneuverability. A hydraulic cooler with incorporated fan keeps the oil temperatures regulated. Electric start is standard on all models.
The control panel is simple and understandable. The safety clutch engages and disengages the wheel and chain drives. When the clutch is released, the engine continues to run and the controls remain in place, ready for you to resume trenching at any time. Variable speed drive allows the operator to adjust their wheel speed to the soil conditions. The reversible chain drive can be operated manually to dislodge obstructions or debris. The operator can manually unlock the axle with a lever on the control panel for easier turning when transporting.
Applications:
- Irrigation projects: A trencher can create drainage for water and sewer runoff. Trenchers will dig up the soil to enable the installation of a sprinkler system or underground piping. Landscapers also use them when watering large properties.
- Utility work: Gas, electric and cable companies rely on trenchers to dig the trenches they need to run wires, piping and cabling. They also use them to dig up the ground to reach objects that require maintenance, repair or removal.
- Cutting rock or pavement: Wheel trenchers will create straight trenches in challenging ground conditions. Use them to cut through harder materials like rock, concrete or pavement.
- Building French drains: A French drain is a trench that contains rock, gravel or a perforated pipe to direct groundwater or surface water away from an area. Using a trencher for a French drain installation makes the process easier and saves time.
- Severing roots: Landscapers, lawn care professionals and lot clearing operations can use trenchers to cut plant and tree roots. Many trencher models have a built-in blade specifically designed for this purpose.
- Shoveling dirt: A trencher can assist with small-scale manual shoveling tasks that require reaching a depth of 3-4 feet. A walk-behind trencher is ideally suited for the job.
- High-precision cutting and digging applications: The maneuverability and controllability of trenchers make them well-suited for jobs that require precision. One example is when creating a trench in rocky ground.
