Virnig V50 Skid Steer Trencher
The Virnig V50 Skid Steer Trencher is engineered to maximize productivity, precision, and durability in demanding trenching applications. Designed for contractors, landscapers, and utility professionals, the V50 delivers consistent trench depth, smooth trench bottoms, and dependable performance in tough soil conditions.
With a smart depth adjustment system, anti-back flex chain, and side-shift capability, this trencher allows operators to work efficiently—even when trenching close to buildings, fences, and other structures.
Built for Productivity and Control
The V50 features a 4-position depth adjustment system, giving operators precise control over trench depth for utilities, irrigation, drainage, and cable installation. The manual side-shift and removable auger allow accurate trench placement without repositioning the skid steer, saving time on every job.
Its anti-back flex chain improves digging performance in challenging ground while reducing wear, ensuring smoother operation and longer chain life.
Durable Design for Long-Term Performance
Virnig designed the V50 with longevity in mind. A greasable idler bearing at the boom end extends component life, while the standard crumber keeps the trench bottom clean and smooth for easier pipe and cable installation. The bi-directional chain rotation helps eject rocks, roots, and debris, minimizing downtime and preventing chain damage.
