MODEL 20RTK-23RTK
STAND ON HYDRAULIC TRACK TRENCHER
This machine is designed for digging trenches in "normal" ground of reasonably soft dirt and stones
up to 6" (15cm) in diameter. Ground with larger stones, high clay content, very hard packed, very
dry, or in a frozen condition may be unsuitable for normal trenching. Consider using a backhoe or
other heavier equipment for such conditions.
