TRENCHING WITHOUT THE CRUMBER ASSEMBLY
WARNING! The crumber bar and crumber shoe assembly are there for a
reason, YOUR SAFETY! There are a few instances where
removal may be necessary however. In these cases operate
with extreme caution. Reinstall the crumber bar and crumber
shoe as soon as possible.
You can use your trencher to dig under obstacles such as sidewalks.
To do so, remove the crumber shoe and bar assembly and start your trench
as before within a foot of the sidewalk. With the crumber bar and shoe
removed you can start the trench vertically without any lead-in space.
When the desired depth has been reached, tilt the trencher at a 60°
angle while digging, then creep the skid steer
forward and trench under the
sidewalk. Be careful not to contact the edge of the sidewalk with the dig-
ging teeth.
After you have gone as far as you can without contacting the side-
walk, drive the skid steer in reverse to clear the sidewalk and remove the
trencher from the trench. Line up the unit on the other side of the walk and
continue to trench as described above until the two trenches are connected.
(See Figure #15)
Reinstall the crumber bar and crumber shoe assembly immediately.
Some spoil will be left in the trench since the crumber was removed during
the operation.
