Bigfoot Mini Skid Steer Trencher Attachment - Digga

📘 Overview

The Digga MLT (Mini Bigfoot) is a 36"" depth skid steer trencher for Mini skid steer loaders (Dingo/Vermeer/Ditch Witch/Boxer) machines, offering 8"" chain width with Digga's patented Head Start Crumber system that allows the crumber bar to start in the trench — eliminating the need for the operator to exit the machine to reset it between passes. The uniquely visible skid foot design is visible from the cab, confirming trenching depth without a spotter. Digga Planetary drive with Eaton hydraulic motor. Anti-back-flex chain design prevents chain link flexing in tough soil. Three chain options: Earth, Combination, and Tungsten for all ground conditions. SSQA. Made in Dyersville, Iowa, USA.

⚙️ Key Features

• Digga Planetary drive + Eaton hydraulic motor
• Anti-back-flex chain — prevents chain flex in hard soil
• Steel scraper shoe — increased durability over previous designs
• Chain options: Earth | Combination | Tungsten — all conditions
• For Mini skid steer loaders (Dingo/Vermeer/Ditch Witch/Boxer)
• SSQA | Made in Dyersville, Iowa, USA | Digga — attachments since 1981

🔑 Benefits

• Head Start Crumber eliminates the most common operator safety risk in chain trencher operation — conventional trenchers require the operator to exit the machine after each pass to manually lower the crumber bar into the trench, placing the operator adjacent to an unsupported open trench with a running machine nearby. The Head Start Crumber starts in position automatically, keeping the operator in the cab throughout the operation.
• Visible foot depth control provides consistent depth without manual checking or a ground spotter — on conventional trenchers, the operator cannot see the trenching depth from the cab and must stop and exit to verify depth or rely on a ground crew member. The Digga visible foot design allows continuous depth monitoring from the operator seat.
• Anti-back-flex chain maintains positive chain engagement in hard soil where conventional chains skip — when chain links can flex backward under resistance, the chain momentarily loses cutting engagement with the soil and jumps. This wastes energy, creates inconsistent trench profiles, and accelerates tooth wear. Digga's anti-back-flex design locks chain links against rearward flexing, maintaining continuous soil engagement.
• Three chain options cover all soil types from one trencher platform — Earth chain for soft soils; Combination chain for hard/dry/medium; Tungsten chain for frozen ground, hard rock, and asphalt. Changing chain types converts the trencher for the current job site conditions without changing the entire attachment.
