Bobcat 36-Inch Trencher Attachment for Skid Steers
Overview
The Bobcat 36-inch trencher is an OEM attachment designed for Bobcat skid steers for digging utility runs, drainage lines, and irrigation trenches. Chain trenchers cut precise, narrow trenches — this 36-inch depth model handles most utility and irrigation work at standard service depths. As an OEM Bobcat attachment, it's sized and tested to work with Bobcat's hydraulic output without modifications. Available through Bobcat Canada's dealer network.

Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You trench through soft to moderate soil for utilities, drainage, or irrigation lines at 36–60 inch depth
- Your soil is clay, loam, sandy loam, or river bottom — chain trenchers cut fast in these conditions
⛔ Skip if…
- Your soil is solid rock, dense caliche, or Shield granite — chain links and sprockets wear out fast in rock
- You trench in deeply frozen Prairie ground regularly — rock chain at 3–5× wear rate makes winter trenching expensive
🔍 Also consider…
- Rock wheel trencher if your ground is consistently rocky or hardpan
- Standard auger if you're drilling individual holes rather than continuous trench lines
Designed for Bobcat machines but mounts to any skid steer or CTL with a universal SSQA quick-attach plate.
