The Toro Company expands its compact equipment line with the addition of two walk-behind trenchers — the TRX-15 and TRX-19 tracked trenchers. The low-profile tracked design provides a low center of gravity and a light footprint for increased stability on side hills and smooth operation on uneven terrain. The units feature a ground pressure as low as 4.1 psi and each model trenches up to 36 inches. The TRX models feature a cross-trenching capability and the tracks help the operator maneuver over perpendicular trenches with little effort, where wheeled units may get stuck in the existing trench.

Both the 15-hp and the 19-hp TRX models feature 4-cycle, V-twin engines. A large oil reservoir helps maintain low engine temperature and prolong engine life, and a dual-element KAI air cleaner is designed to improve airflow, performance and reduce engine wear.

“For homeowners and do-it-yourselfers, TRX models provide a solution that is less intimidating and can be quickly learned and mastered,” says Greg Lawrence, marketing product manager for Toro. “The professional contractor will also appreciate the TRX trenchers for its ease of underground installation. From utility lines to water pipes, each job will get done quicker because the machine is easy to control and maneuver.”
