Questions

1–3 of 3 Questions  
Sort by:

  1. How wide a trench will it cut

    1 answer

    1. This trencher digs trenches 4" high and 18" deep.

      Helpful?

  2. How do I engage the drive on wheels ?

    1 answer

    1. To engage the drive, you would lower the forward brake bar so the gears engage with the wheels, then set the engine to a high speed and pull the machine backward. The forward brake bar prevents the trencher from moving forward, while the backward movement is controlled by pulling the unit. Then to disengage the brakes and move it freely, loosen the center bolt in the brake bar.

      Helpful?

  3. Is this self-propelled?

    1 answer

    1. The trencher is not self propelled.
