New Holland 60 Inch Skid Steer Trencher
Overview
The 60-inch-inch chain trencher cuts utility, irrigation, and drainage trenches in Canadian soil. New Holland agriculture and construction dealers are spread across all Canadian provinces, providing local support for attachments. Tungsten carbide teeth handle hard clay, gravel, and rocky sub-soil that disc trenchers struggle with. Trench width and depth capacity depend on the selected chain configuration. Available through New Holland dealers across Canada.

Is This Right For You?
Buy if
- You trench through soft to moderate soil for utilities, drainage, or irrigation lines at 36–60 inch depth
- Your soil is clay, loam, sandy loam, or river bottom — chain trenchers cut fast in these conditions
Skip if
- Your soil is solid rock, dense caliche, or Shield granite — chain links and sprockets wear out fast in rock
- You trench in deeply frozen Prairie ground regularly — rock chain at 3–5× wear rate makes winter trenching expensive
Also consider
- Rock wheel trencher if your ground is consistently rocky or hardpan
- Standard auger if you're drilling individual holes rather than continuous trench lines
Designed for New Holland machines but mounts to any skid steer or CTL with a universal SSQA quick-attach plate.
About New Holland in Canada
New Holland attachments are available through CNH dealer locations across Canada. New Holland has a strong presence in agricultural regions and their attachments are built to match the hydraulic specs of their skid steers and compact track loaders.
Care & Maintenance
- Inspect chain teeth after every use — worn teeth slow penetration dramatically and increase drive motor load; a full day's work can dull a chain in abrasive soil
- Lubricate the drive chain and boom sprockets before each use and again after every 4 hours of continuous trenching
- Check the boom bar for cracking or deformation after work in rocky or abrasive conditions — boom cracks propagate quickly under the bending loads of trenching
- Clean soil from the drive motor cooling fins and chain case after summer use — compacted soil on the motor causes overheating on long cuts
- Store the chain with teeth protected from ground contact — resting a chain on carbide tips on concrete chips the teeth before you've even used it
How to Connect
- Attach trencher boom using Bob-Tach
- Connect high-flow hydraulic couplers
- Test chain tension and direction before cutting
- Call 811 and verify all utilities located before first cut
