Trencher attachment
Bobcat's LT414 trencher
attachment features a 4- or 5-foot dig depth and is approved for
operation on various Bobcat compact loaders with a high-flow auxiliary
hydraulic system. The LT414 trencher is designed for medium- to
high-production trenching applications such as utility installation
projects. Standard with hydraulic side-shift, the trencher is built to
achieve optimal productivity in all ground conditions, from black dirt
to gravel. The side-shift feature provides the operator with flexibility
when working next to buildings. The trencher also features a larger
diameter auger with a tapered design that removes more material from the

trench.

rough-terrain sites where access with alternative equipment could be
difficult. The 32-square-foot platform features a 1,000-pound capacity
designed to comfortably and safely hold two people. The platform
