Kubota 48 Inch Skid Steer Trencher
Overview
The 48-inch-inch chain trencher cuts utility, irrigation, and drainage trenches in Canadian soil. Kubota Canada dealer locations span every province, with factory-matched attachments and parts support. Tungsten carbide teeth handle hard clay, gravel, and rocky sub-soil that disc trenchers struggle with. Trench width and depth capacity depend on the selected chain configuration. Available through Kubota dealers across Canada.

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 Kubota machines but mounts to any skid steer or CTL with a universal SSQA quick-attach plate.
