The Star Industries skid steer trencher is built for clean trenching on property, utility, farm, and contractor jobs where water lines, cable lines, drainage runs, or similar cuts need to be opened efficiently. It requires 20–30 GPM hydraulic flow, so skid steer compatibility should be confirmed before ordering.

The 131-48 family is configured around a 48 inch digging depth and includes a full rock guard, crumber bar, blade, and 15 inch auger. Choose the chain style that matches the ground: dirt chain for standard soil, combo chain for mixed conditions, or rock and frost chain for harder digging.

With the chain options grouped under one product, operators can compare the same trencher frame by ground condition instead of sorting through separate thin listings.
