The Baumalight TNS536 is a 500 series trencher that cuts a trench up to 36 in deep and 6 to 10 in wide, the width set by which of six chains is ordered with it, so cable and utility lines go underground and out of harm's way. It works off a skid steer, and the same machine goes on a hydrostatic tractor through an optional 3-point hitch adaptor. It is for contractors and trade professionals who run a larger skid steer than a small trencher takes and still want a smaller trench than a bigger machine cuts.

The planetary drive unit delivers the hydraulic power directly to the sprocket of the digging chain, with the motor mounted in line with the main sprocket and no roller chain to jump or stretch, and the sealed drive housing keeps the dirt out. Spoil is carried out to the side of the trench and left near it for backfilling, the hinged crumb scraper bar sweeps loose dirt and debris back into the chain whatever the depth, and the solid steel nose is precision machined and runs on dual tapered roller bearings behind a machined washer, a rubber seal and a grease fitting. Chain tension is taken up by pumping grease into the cylinder tensioner, so it is a few quick pumps of a grease gun. The only decisions a buyer makes here are the chain and, for tractor work, the hitch adaptor and its control kit.

Common Applications

  • Burying cable and utility lines from a 3,000 to 7,000 lb skid steer
  • Trenching from a hydrostatic tractor with the optional 3-point hitch adaptor
  • Cutting in rocky ground on one of the 50/50 rock and cup tooth chains

Selection Notes

  • The chain is the main choice and it sets the trench width, the tooth style and the price. Six are offered in 6, 8 and 10 in widths. The cup chains carry hardened, reinforced cup teeth, 30 on the 6 in, 40 on the 8 in and 38 on the 10 in. The 50/50 rock chains mix cup teeth with rock tooth holders and are the ones for rocky ground: 18 cup teeth and 18 holders on the 6 in, 24 and 22 on the 8 in, 24 and 24 on the 10 in. A bullet style tooth is available on request for rocky soil.
  • The carrier band is 3,000 to 7,000 lb skid steers at 40 to 100 HP and 12 to 25 GPM; on a tractor with the adaptor the charted band is 15 to 25 GPM.
  • The 3-point hitch adaptor is ordered only to run the machine on a tractor. It is a bolt-on with a cylinder for angle and depth control, D001393 for a CAT 1 hitch and D003074 for CAT 2, and the tractor must have a hydrostatic drive and two hydraulic remotes.
  • The S1050 valve kit is the external control for a tractor with only one hydraulic remote, mounted on an adjustable arm. Neither adaptor includes it, so it is its own add-on row, and it is offered only alongside an adaptor.
  • Each row carries its own chain's weight, plus the weight of any adaptor or kit that row selects.
  • Shipping runs 346.50 to 409.60 USD by part number and is not included in the price.
