Does anyone manufacture a three point trencher, similiar to the units that are installed on Ditch Witch machines, for a tractor? I know you may improvise with a middle buster or a few other implements, but nothing works as well. (except a backhoe)

Contact us we sell a CAT 1 or 2 3pt hitch trencher. Trenches 4" to 10 " wide up to 46" deep. Cost is $4000.00. Tractor mounted tranchers work best on a tractor with a hydrostat transmission or one with a creeper gear. Otherwise you will find that the tractor won't go slow enough in tough ground.

Several companies make what you are looking for, check "easternfarmmachinery.com", etc., BUT, they MUST be put on a Hydro driven machine, gear drives won't go slow enough at PTO operating speed. Best of luck. ....

If you have a true creeper gear/range the trencher will work nicely on a geared tractor. ....

Bradco makes a 3pt trencher. My local dealer (Michigan) had used one on consignment for $4700---said it was $7000 new.
I have a Case DH5 trencher with backhoe and backfill blade for sale, 4 cyl. diesel, articulating, 4 wheel drive, new batt./fuel pump/starter, extra cutting teeth, set up for 8" wide but can trench from 2" all the way up to 16" in one pass. It's not a toy. Engine is suppose to be same one used in dozers and backhoes if anyone needs a good engine donor. I'd take $5500. (734) 782-2125 Southeast of Detroit. ....

Is this trencher for a BX2200? I can give you the Kubota number for the B-Series, but I don't know of a Kubota trencher for the BX. The B-Series is a B5550A, but only recommended for the 2710, 2910, and 7800. Maybe someone else could help here, but I don't think there is a trencher for a BX2200. ....

Bradco makes one but they are pricey---I found a used one for $4500--new $7000 and you need rear hydraulic remotes for lifting the trenching arm itself. Home Depot's rental dept. near me had Vermeer trencher self-propelled for $3800 that was nearly new. Every three years they cycle through all their equipment with new. ....

Considering the original post dates back to the summer of 1999 but was briefly resurrected in 2004 by someone who didn't notice it was a 5 year old thread, I suspect there may not be much more activity on this thread.

Best of luck. ....
