It is time to test out my new Wolverine Trencher, which I purchased at a Richie Brothers Auction.
Even though it is a knock off brand, I hope it will dig plenty of trenches through our tough silt-stoney soil. Check out the video for the trencher in action, and my preliminary review of how it handles our land!

2nd Comment - This worked so well in your video that I would consider using this to establish our 30" deep barrier for our bamboo grove.

I bought a Lowe trencher for 300 dollars about 15 years ago. I had to make parts as they were no longer available but it cuts through even coral rock!

@MakersAcres Жыл бұрын

Wow. That’s a great price! Does it have the rock teeth on it? The ones that look like little bullets?

@chargermopar Жыл бұрын

@@MakersAcres Yes the teeth it came with were rounded and falling out so I replaced them with newer ones.

I just purchased one of these. Haven't tried it yet however it seems to be built very strong.

Ya, just want to make sure you get the chain tension right. Since they didn’t include a manual, I think I looked at the bobcat one to check and make sure I got it right.

Ha!! I got the same trencher.. think I'll go for the Auger too. Anyway, for my "Crumbershoe", I have all the parts, but can't figure out how it goes on.. a few ways, but nothing looks like it positions it properly. Was hoping you had a pic! Oh well.. so far works great! Who needs a "Crumbershoe" anyway.

@MakersAcres Жыл бұрын

I do have the auger as well. Don’t forget to add the oil to the gearbox if you do get one. You are lucky you got all the parts. I’ll post a video of fixing this part in the future, but I haven’t really needed it.

My ASV RT40 only puts out 13.3 GPM, But it works fine! Digging rate 40+ inch depth.. rocky/sand/big roots averages abt 1 ft. Per minute at a medium 2200 RPM. I have a stump that I ground pretty flat, but isin the way. I think given 15 mins I can cut thru the stump! Had dullish carbide tips which gnaw thru roots pretty well.

Mine has 3 hydraulic lines. One is a return. Which one? Unfortunately they may not match. Mine is a mower king.

@MakersAcres 10 ай бұрын

Normally the smaller line is the case drain and goes to the smallest quick connect on your machine. You can also identify this line as being the closest line to the gear box or the blade. The other two lines should be in line with each other if that makes sense.

I just bought this same trencher and it says it’s a high flow, but the hydraulic lines that came on it only fit the standard flow hookups. Is yours on your high flow or standard flow?

@MakersAcres Жыл бұрын

Mine is standard flow. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a high flow trencher.
