Problems You Can Address With the Right Trench Digging Machine
Although a trench digger makes the function clear by its name alone, there is more to using this equipment than simply tearing into the ground and digging up large volumes of earth. With the Digga Bigfoot, which works as an attachment for several machines, you can accomplish a much wider variety of tasks. Some of the most common problems a device such as this solves include:
- Difficulty in reaching an appropriate depth to run sensitive cabling or plumbing that must remain protected from the elements. Some ground conditions are more challenging than others; a sandy soil is no problem compared to chewing through asphalt. The right machine will come with a variety of blade types so you may choose the appropriate one for the job at hand.
- Issues with spoil falling back into the trench or causing problems with the operation of the ditch trencher itself. Few things are as frustrating as achieving a clean start to a new ditch, only to watch as the spoil ejected from the ground falls back into the trench as you go farther along. Choosing a more modern and well-equipped unit provides you with solutions to avoid this problem altogether, safely ejecting spoil away from the trench and saving hours of labour.
- Challenges in correctly aligning the unit or knowing you've started the trench accurately. Many operators require a spotter on the ground to let them know when to engage the trenching apparatus fully. The Digga units we supply solve this problem with an innovative addition to the riding unit which we'll discuss shortly.
With this level of versatility, investing in a chainsaw trencher should not be an intimidating prospect. Instead, it should be easy to see that it’s a gateway to an excellent return on your investment. With the proper maintenance and operation, your Bigfoot trencher will continue to provide the functionality you need on the job site year in and year out.

The Benefits of Digga Trenchers from Earthmoving Warehouse
As one of the leading manufacturers of earthmoving equipment in Australia and other regions around the world, Digga has an established reputation for quality. Knowing that the machinery you purchase can stand the test of time is one thing, but it needs to deliver ease of operation and good on-the-job versatility. Is that true for the Bigfoot? A look at the benefits this machine brings to the table makes it clear that the answer is a resounding "yes."
- The Bigfoot features a cab-visible skid foot - no spotter required. Set the correct depth, then watch as the skid foot remains fully visible as you put the trencher into position. You now know precisely where you're beginning, so there is no need to worry about trenching the wrong spot.
- A heavy-duty spoil auger and back feeding system to prevent overburden from dirtying the working side of the trench. The auger reliably spits out as much spoil as possible, aided by the spring-loaded crumber in the ground. The skid foot ensures overburden returns to a position where the auger captures it and deposits it away from the trench.
- This is a highly popular trench digger we have for sale for a good reason: its versatility makes it incredibly easy to fit different types of equipment. From tractors with enough horsepower to excavators of up to 4.5 tonnes in weight, the Bigfoot attaches to them all and delivers the same reliable performance in every situation.
Fast Facts About This Trenching Machine
Stats and specifications might seem boring to some, but for buyers, they're vital information. As you learn more about the Bigfoot trencher and its capabilities, it's worth taking a closer look at some of the basic specs the machine runs. Although there is some variation between models, here's what you need to keep in mind about the basic Digga Bigfoot.
- The Bigfoot trenching machine we have for sale comes with three options for combination chains, with sizes including 100-, 150-, and 200mm. A "combination" chain is one that has both proprietary Diggatec teeth and Earth teeth. In a 70/30 ratio, these teeth provide powerful cutting action suitable even for permafrost conditions.
- Pre-set the depth foot at convenient levels, from 600- to 750- and finally to 900mm. In its maximum configuration, the trencher can reach down to about 1.5 metres, more than sufficient enough for most cabling and piping.
- The maximum cutting width is 200mm, but you can go even smaller to 100mm for those very narrow trenches for which some applications call.
Tips for Getting More Value Out of a Trench Cutter Machine
Adding any new equipment to your pool requires careful consideration, but the need to derive value from your investment does not end after the first time you use a trench saw on the job. It is crucial to know what to do and how to care for your equipment to ensure that it lasts as long as possible. The key to unlocking a truly robust ROI is simple-do what it takes to allow your hardware to function at peak performance every time you fire it up. Here are some of our tips for doing just that.
- Engage in proper training to operate the machinery as close to specifications as possible. Whether you ask questions of our team or learn from the manufacturer, it's crucial to take the time to know how to make this machine work for you, not against you. We've all had those challenging days on the job site where nothing seems to go right; better training makes those days rarer.
- Keep your equipment clean. As hardy as today's metals are, they're still susceptible to corrosion at times, especially in Australia's harsh conditions. After completing a day of trenching, be sure to wash equipment down and store it properly.
- Know when to service your digger regularly. Standard maintenance, from blade sharpening or replacement to gearbox lubrication, is essential for ensuring the long life of your equipment.
