⛓ Chain Choice Is the Decision That Matters
Depth and width are set by the job. The chain is set by the ground, and getting it wrong costs teeth and time.
- Earth chain — cup tooth on alternating stations. Best in clean ground with no roots or rock. Fastest in soil, and the wrong choice the moment you hit stone.
- Combo chain — a cup tooth and a tungsten tooth alternating. Handles hard soil, roots and rocky ground. The general-purpose answer if your sites vary, and Haugen's standard configuration.
- Rock & Frost — a tungsten tooth on every station. For hard shale, asphalt and frozen ground, where cup teeth would simply blunt.
If you trench in one known soil type, match the chain to it. If you work wherever the job is, Combo is the chain that will not stop you.
🔧 The Crumber and the Adjustable Foot
Both are included, and both save hand work.
The crumber follows the chain and cleans loose material from the trench bottom, so the trench is at full depth rather than partly filled with what fell back in. Start trenching with the crumber already in the ground.
The adjustable foot sets digging depth and pushes spoils toward the auger, keeping the trench edge clear rather than leaving a bank you have to shovel back.
🚜 Skid Steer Compatibility
Skid steer models use a bolt-on mount with sliding adjustment. Mini and walk-behind versions use a Dingo mount.
Flow matters here: 13–25 gpm on the 36" units, 16–30 gpm on the 48". Match your machine's auxiliary flow to those figures — a trencher below its flow range cuts slowly, and one above it will not last.
Haugen does not publish weights for the trencher range in the current price guides, so none are listed rather than estimated. support@eskidsteer.com can obtain them.
❓ Skid Steer Trencher FAQs
Which chain should I order?
Earth for clean soil with no rock or roots. Combo for hard soil, roots and rocky ground — the general-purpose choice, and Haugen's standard configuration. Rock & Frost for shale, asphalt and frozen ground.
What is the crumber for?
It follows the chain and clears loose material from the trench bottom, so you get full depth instead of a trench partly refilled by its own spoil. Start with the crumber in the ground.
36" or 48" deep?
Match it to the burial depth you need. The 48" units also require more flow — 16 to 30 gpm against 13 to 25 — so check your machine can supply it.
6" or 8" wide?
Six inches suits most utility and irrigation runs. Eight is available on the 48" models for larger pipe or where you need working room in the trench.
What is included?
Mount, crumber, hose kit and couplers come with every trencher, so there is nothing further to order to run it.
Is there a version for a mini skid steer?
Yes — the HTM models cut 36" x 6" on a Dingo mount, in Earth or Combo chain, for mini and walk-behind machines.
