Bobcat 36" trencher attachment for MT52 small skidster
I purchased the attachment to use on jobs where access with a large skidsteer & trenching attachment was impossible, and only used it on about a dozen occasions. Most of the wear you see on the attachment is actually from moving it around in our storage yard.
The chain, teeth, and bullets could almost pass for new. The hoses have smallish dings in the rubber, but nothing close to the inner metal. Where the hoses attach to housing, everything is tight and solid. Where the hoses attach to the couplers, everything is perfect. The couplers themselves are in perfect condition, and only in need of a little lubrication which they will get the first time you hook it up.
The auger is loosely attached because we preferred to trench without it. It will need to be tightened if you prefer to use it. We preferred to use a 4" trenching shovel for junction cleanout - a larger shovel will not fit well in the trench.
You will need to arrange for your own freight, and I will need a day's notice for pickup. A liftgate is required for pickup. The trencher weighs about 600 lbs. Feel free to call or email if you have other questions. Dave at (***) 830 1969 // ****@hotmail.com
