18" Shark Trencher

Part Number: T-4-HS18

The Ground Hog Inc. T-4 Trencher is a small, operator propelled, chain-type trencher designed for jobs requiring up to a 12 or 18 inch deep trench. Heavy gauge powder coated steel is used throughout the T-4's construction as well as tapered roller bearings and double-row ball bearings to ensure trouble-free service.

The T-4’s narrow, compact design allows easy access around the job site and it easily fits through gates and doorways. The T-4 is also easier to use and transport than larger trenchers. The pneumatic tires also prevent the lawn from being torn up like track driven machines are known to do. Simplified operator controls help make the machine less intimidating to operators unfamiliar with using outdoor power equipment.

The Ground Hog T-4 uses an innovative ratchet mechanism on the wheels to help prevent the machine from pulling away from the trenching direction. This greatly aids the operator while trenching and allows the trencher to do the digging while the side delivery auger piles the dirt up neatly beside the trench. When the depth control handle is moved to one of the 3 digging positions the wheel ratchets engage allowing the wheels to only roll in the trenching direction.
