AFT100 at a glance
- Farmers: Install drainage when time permits, with appropriate weather conditions
- Contractors: Productive trenching (typically between 100 and 200 metres per hour)*, easily carried on the back of your tractor, deal with more customers in less time
- A fraction of the cost versus a self-propelled trencher
- A clean-cut trench
- Easy backfilling with finely cut spoils left on each side of the trench (a simple blade on your tractor can be used to backfill)
- Automatic laser grading as an option
- The modest weight of the trencher (1400-1900kg depending on accessories) allows it to be carried by a 100+ HP tractor
*Speed will depend on various factors such as ground conditions and depth/width of the trench.
A clean trench is a must for effective drainage.
