WHY choose the AFT45?
Availability
As a farmer or cable/water pipe installer, once you have the AFT45 on site, you can get the work done progressively whenever the weather conditions are appropriate.
Compact Trencher
A 30+ HP tractor will operate it.
Speed
You are 5 to 10 times faster than with an excavator with a digging bucket. Do in 1 day what you would normally do in 1 week.
Clean trench
Water can flow freely into and through the system without blockages from soil, rocks, or debris.
Rapid backfilling
The auger places the finely cut soil to one side of the trench. A simple blade on your tractor will do the backfilling for you in no time.
Minimal Maintenance
Visually inspect the machine, check the tension of the chain, grease it from time to time, and you are done. Our trenchers can last 20 to 30 years when looked after.
Ease of Use
If you can operate a tractor, you can operate the AFT45. Whether we set the machine up in person or send it overseas, we rarely have anyone calling us back.
Cost-effectiveness
Our trencher is very affordable and is only a fraction of the cost of a self-propelled trencher.
Fast Delivery of Spare Parts
A part to replace? No problem. Check our 3D parts book and give us a call. We can generally dispatch within the next 24 hours.
