Trencher Rentals:
Compact to Heavy-Duty Options for Every Job

When you need clean, straight trenches for utilities, irrigation, drainage, or lighting, the right trencher can cut project time dramatically. At Rent ’n King, we stock a full lineup—from compact, budget-friendly walk-behind units to powerful ride-on trenchers and a mini skid loader with a 36" trencher attachment. Below is a simple guide to help you choose the best machine for your job.

Ground Hog T-4 — Smallest & Most Economical

Best for: homeowners, irrigation lines, low-voltage wire runs, and tight spaces.

• Compact, operator-propelled design fits through gates and narrow paths.
• Typical trench depths: 12"–18"; narrow trench width to minimize backfill.
• Simple controls—great for first-time users.

Barreto 13STKH Track Trencher — Mid-Size Walk-Behind

Best for: utility lines, water lines, irrigation, and medium-length runs where traction matters.

• Tracked undercarriage for grip on uneven terrain and softer ground.
• Boom dimensions: 24" depth x 4" chain width.
• Smooth hydraulic controls for steady forward pace and clean trench walls.

Barreto RTK23 — Ride-On Power in a Compact Frame

Best for: contractors who need more horsepower and production than a walk-behind, but still want excellent maneuverability.

• 23 HP Kohler EFI engine provides serious digging power in a mid-size package.
• Fully hydraulic steering and ground drive for precision trenching.
• Boom dimensions: 36" depth with a 6" trench width.
• Ideal for residential and light commercial utility installations where space is limited.

Ride-On Tracked Trencher — Largest Production Option

Best for: long runs, commercial projects, and tougher soils where productivity rules.

• Operator ride-on comfort for faster coverage and reduced fatigue.
• Wider track footprint for stability and straight, consistent trenches.
• Boom dimensions: ~36" depth x 6" chain width.
• Ideal when you need higher horsepower and deeper trench capability.

Vermeer CTX100 + 36" Trencher — Extra-Power Option

Best for: deeper utility lines, tougher soil conditions, and high-throughput jobs.

• Mini-skid platform with serious hydraulic power for a 36" trencher attachment.
• Excellent for contractors who need depth, torque, and all-day reliability.
• Tracks provide stability and low ground disturbance around finished lawns.

How to Choose the Right Trencher

Quick guide:

• Depth/Width: Deeper or wider = RTK23, Ride-On, or CTX100; shallow = Ground Hog or 13STKH.
• Run Length: Long runs favor RTK23, Ride-On, or CTX100 for speed and comfort.
• Access: Tight gates & yards = Ground Hog T-4 or 13STKH.
• Soil: Rocky/compacted = 13STKH, RTK23, Ride-On, or CTX100.
• Budget: Ground Hog is most economical; CTX100 is premium.
