Overview
The Bigfoot mini skid steer trencher puts a 3 foot trench behind a compact utility loader. It runs a 1-5/8 inch pitch chain from 10 to 25 GPM, cuts 4, 6 or 8 inches wide, and comes with the mount, hoses, quick disconnects and crumber bar — so it arrives ready to dig rather than as a head that needs parts around it.
Key Features of the Bigfoot Mini Skid Steer Trencher Attachment
- 3 ft dig depth on a 1-5/8 inch pitch chain
- Recommended flow 10 to 25 GPM — within reach of a compact utility loader's auxiliary circuit
- Cutting widths of 4, 6 and 8 inches
- Mount, hoses and flush-face quick disconnects included
- Headstart crumber system — Digga's crumber pulls loose spoil out of the trench behind the chain, so the floor is clean enough to lay in without hand work
- Adjustable foot depth control — the foot sets the depth of cut and keeps it there across the run
- Three chain options — Earth, Combo or Diggatac, chosen for the ground rather than the machine
- 3 year gearbox and 2 year motor warranty
Choosing Your Chain
| Chain option | Teeth | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Earth Chain | Cup tooth on every second station | Soft clean ground with no floaters or tree roots |
| Combo Chain - 70% Diggatac Teeth and 30% Earth Teeth | A mix of carbide and earth teeth | Most applications — hard soil, roots, soft shale, rocky ground |
| Diggatac Chain | Full tungsten Diggatac teeth on every station | Rock, hard shale, asphalt and frozen ground, with extended tooth life and reduced vibration per Digga |
The chain is the part that decides how the trencher behaves. Earth teeth cut fast in clean soil and round off quickly in anything harder; Diggatac carbide teeth cost more and keep cutting in rock, asphalt and frozen ground. Combo is the middle, and it is what most contractors end up running.
Cutting Width and Depth
| Option value on this page | What it sets |
|---|---|
| 4" Cutting Width | Cutting width option |
| 6" Cutting Width | Cutting width option |
| 8" Cutting Width | Cutting width option |
| 3 ft dig depth | Dig depth option |
Trench width only needs to suit what goes in the trench plus bedding, and every extra inch is more time, more fuel and more backfill.
What Comes With It
- Bigfoot Mini trencher head with fixed frame mount
- Hydraulic hoses with flush-face quick disconnects
- Crumber bar
- Chain in the type and width you select
- Not included: replacement chains and teeth, which are sold separately
Which Machines Fit It?
It fits mini skid steers and compact utility loaders with an auxiliary circuit between 10 and 25 GPM. Below 10 GPM the chain will turn but the trencher will be slow in anything but loose soil; above 25 GPM you are into the full-size machines, and the larger Bigfoot is the better tool.
The mount is included with this trencher, so no separate frame is needed. Tell us the machine make and model with the order and we confirm the plate before it ships.
Bigfoot Mini Skid Steer Trencher Attachment Questions, Answered
Will it dig in my ground?
A mini loader trencher is at its best in soil, sand and soft clay. Roots, rocky ground and hard shale are what the Diggatac chain exists for, and they will slow any machine this size. Frozen ground and asphalt are beyond what a mini loader can push a chain through, whatever the teeth.
What is the crumber bar for?
It drags loose material out of the bottom of the trench as the machine moves, so the trench floor is clean and at depth rather than half full of the spoil the chain just cut. Without one, someone ends up in the trench with a shovel before anything can be laid.
Which chain should I buy with it?
Earth for soft clean ground, Diggatac for rock, asphalt and frozen ground, Combo for everything in between. If you do not know what you will hit, Combo is the safe answer — Digga builds it with roughly 70 percent carbide teeth.
Can I change chains later?
Yes. Complete chains are listed separately, and individual trencher chain teeth let you rebuild a chain a few stations at a time rather than replacing it whole.
How is shipping calculated?
Shipping is calculated at checkout from the weight of your order and your delivery address, and the charge is shown before you complete the order. Trenchers ship by LTL freight on a pallet.
On delivery: inspect the crate before you sign. Note any damage on the bill of lading at the time of delivery, photograph it, and email support@eskidsteer.com — a clean signature makes a carrier claim much harder to win.
