Overview
This trencher excavator mount hitches a Digga Bigfoot trencher to an excavator coupler rather than a skid steer plate, which is what lets you trench along a bank, over a fence, or anywhere the machine cannot straddle the line. Eleven hitches cover four coupler families — Bobcat Xchange, John Deere, Kubota and Tag/Wain Roy — and each is specific to both your coupler and which trencher you run: the standard Bigfoot and the Bigfoot XD take different hitches.
Key Features of the Trencher Excavator Mounts
- Hitches available: Eleven
- Coupler families: Bobcat Xchange, John Deere, Kubota, Tag and Wain Roy
- Trencher models: Bigfoot and Bigfoot XD take different hitches
- John Deere couplers: 27D/35D and 50D/60D
- Eleven hitches across four coupler families — Bobcat Xchange, John Deere, Kubota, Tag and Wain Roy.
- Bigfoot and Bigfoot XD take different hitches, so the trencher model is half the selection.
- An excavator trenches where a loader cannot straddle the line — banks, ditches, fence lines and confined access.
- Selected by coupler, not by machine brand alone — the same manufacturer uses several coupler standards across its range.
- Made in Dyersville, Iowa.
- Reach is the reason: an excavator digs a trench standing beside it rather than on top of it, which matters on soft ground and finished surfaces.
Why the Trencher Excavator Mount Earns Its Place
- Getting the trencher model wrong is the common error, because the coupler is the part people check and the trencher is the part they assume.
- John Deere alone spans four hitches here across the 27D/35D and 50D/60D couplers in both trencher models.

Choosing Your Trencher Excavator Mount
Two things decide the hitch: which coupler is on your excavator, and which trencher you are hanging off it. Both have to match — a Bigfoot hitch will not carry a Bigfoot XD.

Which Machines Fit the Trencher Excavator Mount?
Selected by coupler family and trencher model together. Check both before you order — the coupler decides which family, and the trencher decides which hitch within it.
| Fitment factor | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Coupler | Bobcat Xchange, John Deere 27D/35D or 50D/60D, Kubota K7870, or Tag/Wain Roy QC27 |
| Trencher | Bigfoot or Bigfoot XD — they take different hitches |
| Machine | Excavators with one of the listed coupler standards |
| Skid steer alternative | Digga offers universal slide mounts and machine-specific skid steer mounts separately |
| 1/4 Yard Wain Roy | Available for the Bigfoot XD only |
Note your machine make and model at checkout and we confirm the Trencher Excavator Mount suits it before the order ships.
What to Order Alongside the Trencher Excavator Mount
- The trencher itself — this listing is the hitch, not the attachment.
- Spare chain teeth, which are the consumable on any trencher.
Trencher Excavator Mounts Questions, Answered
How do I choose the right hitch?
Two checks. First, which coupler is on your excavator — Bobcat Xchange, a John Deere wedge loc, a Kubota K7870 or a Tag/Wain Roy QC27. Second, which trencher you run, because the Bigfoot and the Bigfoot XD take different hitches within every coupler family. Both have to match.
My machine is a John Deere — which one?
John Deere uses more than one coupler standard, so the brand alone does not settle it. The 27D/35D and the 50D/60D take different hitches, and each of those has a Bigfoot and a Bigfoot XD version — four hitches in total across the John Deere range.
Can I use a skid steer trencher mount on an excavator?
No. They are different interfaces entirely. Digga offers universal skid steer slide mounts and machine-specific skid steer mounts as separate items for loader-mounted trenching.
Why trench with an excavator rather than a loader?
Reach and position. An excavator digs a trench while standing beside the line rather than driving along it, which is what you need on a bank, across a ditch, alongside a fence, or on ground you do not want to track over.
What warranty applies?
Digga covers attachments other than drives and trenchers for 12 months. Hitches and mounts are fabricated items rather than powered components, so the drive and trencher warranty terms do not apply to them.
Will this fit my machine?
Check three things: it is built for Excavators with one of the listed coupler standards; the interface is Bobcat Xchange, John Deere 27D/35D or 50D/60D, Kubota K7870, or Tag/Wain Roy QC27. Add your machine make and model at checkout and we confirm the fit before the order ships.
How is shipping calculated?
Shipping is calculated at checkout — add the item to your cart, enter your delivery address, and the shipping charge is shown before you complete your order. Lift gate service is available for residential deliveries and can be selected at checkout.
How do I order?
Add the item to your cart and check out online — the order page asks for your machine make and model, so there is no need to call ahead. We check the mount against your machine after the order and come back to you if anything needs changing. If you would rather ask first, email support@eskidsteer.com or use the chat button on your screen.
Buyers find the Trencher Excavator Mount searching for a skid steer trencher attachment, a trencher attachment, or a excavator attachments to suit a machine they already run. It sits alongside digga trencher and excavator hitch in the same catalogue. All of it is genuine trencher mount equipment made in Dyersville, Iowa.
The trencher model catches people out more often than the coupler does. Operators check the coupler carefully because it is the obvious fitment question, then order the hitch without noting whether their machine is a Bigfoot or a Bigfoot XD — and within every coupler family those are two different parts.
