Introducing the New, Revolutionary Zero-Turning Radius Steerable Walk-Behind Trencher

Models: 1324ST, 1624ST

The Only One of Its Kind

No other trencher on the market offers the steering capabilities of the new Barreto steerable trencher! Using the all-hydraulic power that makes Barreto the industry leader, the steerable trencher offers superb maneuverability and ease of operation.

Industry Leading Design

This trencher features a direct hydraulic drive to the head shaft, eliminating the need for belts, chains and gears. This significantly decreases maintenance costs and significantly increases return on investment. The outboard support bearing is standard, protecting the auger shaft from bending due to impact.

Our innovative steering system offers a 2-pump, 2-motor wheel drive. One hand easily operates both wheel controls for traveling to the job site. Zero-radius turning capability makes trenching sprinkler grids a breeze. Precise wheel control helps eliminate drifting when trenching on uneven terrain and hillsides. Long, arching curves are now possible with virtually no operator effort. With a faster forward drive speed, you save time getting around the job site.
