New Holland 48 Inch Skid Steer Trencher
Overview
The 48-inch-inch chain trencher cuts utility, irrigation, and drainage trenches in Canadian soil. New Holland agriculture and construction dealers are spread across all Canadian provinces, providing local support for attachments. 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 New Holland 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 New Holland machines but mounts to any skid steer or CTL with a universal SSQA quick-attach plate.
