Description
The TCT Fairway Trencher is built specifically for golf course drainage — creating and maintaining drainage on fairways, tees and greens, and equally at home on irrigation and services installation.
This PTO-driven chain trencher lifts spoil onto a double-belt conveyor and drops it straight into a following trailer or truck, so there is almost nothing to clean up behind you. Take the conveyor off and it becomes a conventional side-dispensing trencher.
Adjustable widths and depths make it genuinely versatile: primary drainage at 150–200mm right down to slit drainage as narrow as 75mm, at 800 or 1000mm deep. The three-point linkage means it goes on and comes off the tractor in minutes.
Adjustable side rollers
Designed to prevent turf scuffing. Once the machine is on the ground it tows like a trailer, with no weight placed on the tractor’s three-point hitch.
Direct drive reduction gearbox
Provides the high torque needed to break through hard pan soils, with precise control over digging speed.
Double conveyor system
Two separate working conveyor belts move spoil quickly and keep the worksite tidy.
Maintenance-free main drive
Bearings sit in an enclosed, oil-filled housing for added durability.
Quality wear parts
USA-manufactured trenching components with tungsten carbide cutting teeth for a long service life.
Crumber bar
Grades the trench as you work, leaving a smooth, even finish ready for pipe.
Converts to conventional trenching
The conveyor removes easily, turning the Fairway into a side-dispensing conventional trencher.
