Mini Skid Steer Trencher Attachment – Precision Trenching Up to 36 Inches Deep

When you need to dig narrow trenches fast without tearing up the whole job site, the Mini Bigfoot Trencher from Stinger Attachments delivers precision and power in a compact package. Built specifically for mini skid steers and walk-behind loaders, this trencher cuts clean lines up to 36 inches deep in widths of 4, 6, or 8 inches. Whether you're laying irrigation pipe, running underground electrical, installing communication lines, or handling road repairs, this attachment gets the job done without the mess and disruption of traditional excavation methods.

What sets the Mini Bigfoot apart is its combination of smart engineering and real-world practicality. The patent-pending Headstart Crumber System keeps spoils moving efficiently away from the chain, preventing jamming and maintaining consistent cutting speed even in challenging soil conditions. The adjustable skid foot gives you preset depth stops at 18, 24, 30, and 36 inches, so you maintain constant digging depth without constantly checking your work or making adjustments on the fly. That means cleaner trenches, less rework, and jobs that wrap up faster.

The frame's side-shift capability is a game-changer when you're working close to buildings, foundations, walls, or other permanent structures. Instead of risking damage or struggling with awkward angles, you simply shift the trencher to position the chain exactly where you need it. This feature alone saves countless hours on jobs where precision matters and access is tight. Landscapers working around established properties and contractors dealing with urban job sites will appreciate how much easier this makes delicate trenching work.

Stinger Attachments offers three different chain configurations to match your specific soil conditions and job requirements. The Earth chain handles general digging in most soil types and is the most economical option for standard trenching work. The Combo chain features a 30% earth, 70% carbide tooth mix that balances versatility with cutting power for variable conditions where you might encounter roots, rocks, or hardpan along with softer soil. The Diggatac chain runs 100% carbide teeth for the toughest conditions where rocky soil, heavy clay, or root-laden ground would quickly wear down standard chains.

With a 2K Bell Eaton motor and hydraulic requirements of 13 to 25 GPM, the Mini Bigfoot matches up well with most mini skid steers, ASV units, Terex models, PT30 and RC30 machines, and Bobcat MT series loaders. The attachment delivers up to 34 continuous horsepower, giving you professional-grade trenching performance from compact equipment. At 320 pounds and 74 inches long, it's substantial enough for serious work but still manageable for smaller carriers.

The Mini Bigfoot Trencher transforms multi-day hand-digging projects into efficient machine work that wraps up in hours. Instead of deploying a crew with shovels and picks, one operator with a mini skid steer can cut clean, consistent trenches at walking speed. That labor savings adds up quickly, especially on jobs requiring hundreds of linear feet of trenching. You reduce crew size, eliminate the physical toll of hand digging, and move on to the next job faster.

Precision trenching means less disruption and less restoration work when the job's done. The narrow cutting widths minimize the footprint of your excavation, which matters tremendously when you're working on finished landscapes, athletic fields, or properties where every square foot of turf damage costs money to repair. Clean trenches with vertical walls also make pipe installation easier and more stable, reducing callbacks and warranty issues down the road.

Durability in a trencher comes down to how well it handles abrasive soil, impacts from rocks, and the constant stress of chain-driven cutting. Stinger Attachments builds the Mini Bigfoot with components designed for commercial use, not occasional homeowner projects. The 2K Bell Eaton motor is a proven workhorse in hydraulic applications. The frame construction and chain tensioning system are engineered to maintain alignment and performance through thousands of linear feet of trenching. This isn't equipment you'll be replacing in a season or two.

Having your own trencher instead of renting means you control the schedule and capture the profit on trenching work. When a customer needs irrigation installed or a utility line run, you can quote the complete job and keep that revenue in-house instead of subbing it out or dealing with rental logistics. Over the course of a season, the attachment pays for itself through increased billable services and eliminated rental fees.

The side-shift capability specifically addresses one of the biggest frustrations in trenching work—getting close to structures without damage. When you're running electrical to an outbuilding, installing drainage along a foundation, or placing irrigation lines near hardscaping, the ability to offset the chain while keeping your carrier machine at a safe distance prevents costly accidents and gives you access to work zones that would otherwise require hand digging. That's real-world value that shows up on every tight-access job.

Choosing the right chain for your conditions maximizes both performance and economy. Running the Earth chain in appropriate soil saves money on initial purchase and replacement costs. Upgrading to Combo or Diggatac chains when conditions demand it means you maintain productivity instead of burning time on slow cuts or excessive chain wear. Stinger Attachments gives you the options to match the tool to the task, which is how professional contractors approach equipment.

The Mini Bigfoot Trencher is ideal for utility contractors, landscaping companies, irrigation installers, property management operations, and anyone running a mini skid steer or walk-behind loader who regularly needs narrow, precise trenches. It's equally at home on residential properties, commercial sites, agricultural operations, and municipal projects. The compact size and lower weight compared to full-size trencher attachments make it the right choice for finished landscapes and properties where access is limited.

Before operating, verify that your carrier machine delivers hydraulic flow within the 13 to 25 GPM range and can handle the 320-pound attachment weight plus spoils. Make sure you order specifying your exact machine model so the correct mount configuration ships with your trencher. While the attachment is designed for straightforward installation, following Stinger Attachments' setup instructions ensures proper chain tension, hydraulic connections, and depth adjustment for optimal performance.

Operating techniques matter for trencher longevity and trench quality. Start cuts at a shallow depth and gradually lower the chain to full depth rather than plunging in at maximum depth, which stresses components and can stall the chain in heavy soil. Maintain steady forward speed that matches cutting conditions—too fast and you'll bog the chain, too slow and you'll waste time and fuel. Pay attention to changing soil conditions and adjust your speed accordingly. The Headstart Crumber System handles spoil removal, but very wet or clay-heavy soil may require occasional clearing.

Routine maintenance keeps the Mini Bigfoot running reliably season after season. Check chain tension before each use and adjust according to manufacturer specifications. Inspect hydraulic connections for leaks and verify coupler condition regularly. Clean debris from the crumber system and frame after use, especially in sticky soil conditions. Monitor chain tooth wear and replace chains before they're completely worn to maintain cutting efficiency and prevent damage to the drive system. Proper storage out of weather extends component life and reduces corrosion on hydraulic fittings and the chain system.
