Haugen Trencher — Skid Steer Attachment

The Haugen skid steer trencher digs clean trenches up to 48" deep while pulling material to the surface and augering it off to the side — keeping spoil out of the trench and making backfilling fast. A bolt-on mount with sliding adjustment fits standard skid steer quick-attach plates, and an adjustable depth-control foot keeps your trench consistent from start to finish. Made in the USA by Haugen Attachments.
