Blue Diamond backs its trencher attachments with the Blue Diamond Satisfaction Guarantee, along with a 1-year warranty.

Weight and Cutting Depth
Blue Diamond trenchers are available in weights ranging from 200 pounds to 1,120 pounds for compatibility with skid steers of varying sizes. They can cut depths of 36”, 48” and 60” for standard models and up to 60” on the high-flow models. Each is available with different chain options to support specific cutting needs. The trenchers can cut below the frost line when required.

Our full-size trenchers are designed for skid steers and track loaders, while specialized mini versions are available for mini skid steers to provide the perfect balance of power and maneuverability for tighter working environments.

Hydraulic Flow
The hydraulic flow ranges from 13 to 30 GPM for standard trencher models, with high-flow options available for machines producing 28 to 45 GPM. This wide operating range ensures compatibility with virtually any modern skid steer or track loader.

Performance Categories
Blue Diamond trenchers include multiple options to ensure the ideal match for any host machine and application:

• 36” cutting depth and 4” to 8” cut width standard models
• 48” cutting depth and 6” to 12” cut width standard models
• 60” cutting depth and 6” to 12” cut width high-flow models

Blue Diamond offers three chain configurations to match specific ground conditions and application requirements.

A dirt chain is optimized for soft soil or clay conditions without significant roots or rocks. It features left/right cupped teeth on alternating chain links to efficiently scoop and remove loose material for maximum productivity in favorable ground conditions.

The rock chain is engineered for frozen ground, hard shale, rocky soil and even asphalt cutting. It has tungsten carbide-tipped teeth on every chain link and maintains cutting performance in conditions that quickly dull standard teeth.

The combo chain features an alternating pattern of dirt and rock teeth. This design handles a wide range of conditions, including hard soil, tree roots, soft shale and moderately rocky ground.

All three chains are available for the standard trencher, with the high-flow trencher only available with the combo chain.

Built-in Features
The design of Blue Diamond trenchers incorporates numerous features that enhance durability, performance and ease of use. They typically work at least four times faster than excavating with a bucket and create more consistent results with less operator skill required.

All Blue Diamond trenchers include an extended auger flighting to carry dirt further from the trench. This minimizes the risk of material falling back into the trench, reducing rework and ensuring clean, efficient operation.

A spring-loaded, self-adjusting crumber follows behind the chain to smooth the trench bottom, creating a clean bed for laying pipe, conduit or irrigation lines with minimal manual finish work.

Each model features a manual side-shift capability, which allows offset trenching by simply loosening four bolts, sliding the unit to the desired position and retightening. This feature is particularly valuable when trenching along structures, slabs or existing utilities.

The Bell Eaton planetary drive motor provides reliable, high torque to the digging chain to power through challenging soil conditions. The depth-adjustable skid shoe protects the motor to prevent damage during operation, while also serving as a depth control mechanism.

Safety steps integrated into the mount assembly provide convenient machine access without interference, while hydraulic hoses and couplers come standard with every unit. These provide proper fit and immediate operational readiness.
