- Quick video of my firing up a recent purchase, my Harbor Freight trencher. We have a few projects planned for this tool which you might see on the channel later. I hauled the trencher out into the yard with my riding lawn mower after getting a 1 and 7/8" ball for the back. Similar to the one in this shameless affiliate link: amzn.to/2PNk7nZ

Starting the dig 2:25
Severing internet 2:35
Right now I'm digging a trench so we can bore under the driveway. Need to have a place for rainwater to go that it is not under our pier and beam house, it's not fancy enough to sport an inside river/waterfall setup. Costs too much to control the humidity.
Having a towable backhoe has been a lot of fun. I even get some work done some times.
Check back later for a video of my simple dump trailer made out of a couple of pallets and a piece of square tube I pull with the lawn mower as well.

Saw a recent review with pros and cons that included, "difficult to go from towing to digging mode". After watching you do it in two minutes made me wonder what "difficult" means to some people. Thanks for posting your video.
Owned one for five years now....use it for trenching and pulling stumps. Not fast, but easy to operate and light enough to pull with an ATV.
You're well set up for your planned work, aided by your cute little helper with his water sprayer!
The excavator looks to be up to the tasks and will certainly earn its cost in quite a short time. Subscribed.
Digging without locates will get you everytime.
Lmao call before you dig!
8-1-1
Gee wiz that was so funny!!! "pausing because cut the internet in half" Sounds like something I'd do, I'm still laughing thanks for posting.......
This machine is awesome for personal small jobs
That is why I am going with one of them. Lot of them have been put to the test and for small jobs they seem to work fine.
I like my 19,000 pound one I have in my back yard. But it's nice to see one of these really at work & what you can and can't do with them thanks
I appreciate the kind remarks. I agree I would also prefer the 19k pound one. Especially if it could drive itself ;).

You could DRIVE it easy. On mine you just push lever for stableizer.
It is a 1978 Dynahoe-190 it's like to me having a collection hot rod. Only mine digs ground.
Gotta love the classic which is also useful.
I like your "helper", reminds me of my grands, they like to "help" too. You will find lots of things to use the HF trencher for. It's one of the best things I've ever bought for my farm. For the amount of money invested it really does a lot of work. I found a good place to keep the outriggers on mine, you can check it out on my channel. Keep posting videos, I'm always looking for new ideas. These things are a ton of fun to use.
Yes he’s great to have around, don’t get as much work done but it’s more fun! I’ll check out your video, it’s odd they didn’t plan on a place to store the outriggers in the first place.
Well I guess if they put in storage for the outriggers then it would cost more like some of the other ones on the market. lol I also got a second set of tires and axles from HF. It really makes changing from digging to towing easier. Good luck and keep me posted.
That is why you call locate ! Luckily it wasn't a gas or power line ! Live & Learn !!!
Absolutely love mine...
Is there anywhere i can rent it?
How long does it take to dig a 2 ft deep trench 100 ft long
the boy with the water bottle is funny
Thanks for posting the video. I recently purchased one of these diggers and it is very handy for many projects around the property. I did modify a DR 9 inch bucket to fit on my unit as much of the digging I do does not require a wide trench. Thanks again and keep posting your digging videos. Try not to cut wires and pipes !
Thanks, I've seen some much better videos from others but figured this is a piece from Harbor Freight not everyone knows exists. How large is your property? I suspect I'll find uses all over the place for mine, already have another project in mind when I have some time to get to it. I've managed to avoid any further wire cutting, it sure is effective at it though!
I never knew something like this existed
That little boy's doing more work than his father is and he's using a plastic shovel & bucket...
It's a Sunbelt shovel. They give kids one when dad rents a real trencher for the afternoon. Harbor freight kid shovels probably crack in sand.
Did a foundation dig and seal by hand last year... 7 ft down x 30 feet long paid 3,000 cash i plan on buying one of these on credit cards and running ads for foundation dig and seal
Wonderful equipment
Did you make it?
gotta call and have the lines marked
Dee Jerett hah who plans ahead🤷🏻♂️
@@mericanwit apparently HE DIDNT😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
thank you for the video i was looking at one of these but from the video i dont think i am going to purchase this unit.
Glad I could help in your decision. Curious, what specifically leaned you away from choosing this unit?
@@beenegarage7116 just looking at how it all works it looks very sketchy.
Call before you dig... just about every state requires you to call and mark lines underground
Yes this is important! I knew exactly where the buried electrical was from calling 811 but my cable was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Common sense. Not very common today.
I would make up things to do to use this!
The outrigger attachment system could use work. Would it be that hard for them to put them on a pivot so you just fold them down and push a pin through some holes?
It is obnoxious for sure. You’d still have to move the wheels front to back but having to cart the riggers around separately is a bit much.
I recently saw one of these machines but this one had caterpillar tracks. I don't have the picture of it anymore so can someone tell me which manufacturers make such a machine?
Check Struck Magnatrack
Lieke super
Dial 811 before you dig they tell us and then locate your utilities before they have to come out and threaten you with the bill to repair them. Good luck!
True for their main lines, but not so much for personal feed lines into homes. I actually watched them put a cable line into my one home, v and they didn't even bury it the entire way, it was visible on top of the grass.
This looked like a small RG6 line feeding the house. Probably would not be marked by a utility survey.
How much the cost is making this project
1) Ear protection for the boy!
2) I can see on the pole that there is underground poewer nearby, yet no marking flags.
3) Looks like a Tim Burton contraption.
#2 is serious
At least it wasn't an unmarked gas line Or buried power lines...
Is that Mose from The Office?

Is it light enough to move by hand if you did not have to move it very far?
Yes I bring it out of the garage by hand. However moving across dirt or the yard would be difficult.
Wat model is this?
PREIS?
Did you call in an Underground Service Alert?
Calling for locates before you dig is a real serious thing. Call 811 and give them your information. Utilities show up in the most unlikely places. Like the middle of your back yard. If you hit a high voltage power line you may kill some one or yourself. If you pull a natural gas line you may blow up a building. If you pull something up you pay for the repairs and for any lost revenue from what ever you dig up. Some communications lines can cost thousands of dollars per hour when they are out of service.. Calling for locates at 811 is free. You mark your work area in white arrows. Mark all the corners and if the area is large white marks on the sides. Make your marks at least two feet wider then your dig area. They will mark active utilities and often mark "no what ever" for what isn't there, but not always. Ten days lead time for locates on a pre survey best for planning how to do a job. You often get much more detail with this. Two days lead time for a dig survey. When you get near the ulility marks they are covered for any thing within two feet of the mark. You are required to hand dig to locate the utility in that two foot area. If you find a pipe be carefull it may be abandoned and the pipe in service may be near by. Remember locate marks are free, repares are expensive. Utilities can be in the most unlikely places.
It's a good idea to get a pre survey of your entire property even if your not planning to do any work. Take pictures of the marks for your records.
Did you call Mrs. DIG before you dug?...lol
Lol could. Just as easy been a fuckn gas line hahaha
Sure hope they don’t bury gas lines 6 inches down though! Had a neighbor burn their house down by hitting a gas line, that’s no fun.
oh no run , tgat guy on tv commercial gonna come make fun of you, call before you dig.
Harbor freight backhoe trencher of dig by hand which is faster Hummm ????????
They make a trencher at HF?
Thats what i said!
Yes they do!!
Should have used a tonka
how much gas would digging that trench use?
A full tank of gas on mine lasts 45-50 minutes at full throttle. Tank holds about .7 gallons. In our region fuel cost would be about $2.60 USD. That's for 91 octane that I remove the ethanol from. I'm not a really good operator yet, but I can dig 13" wide 3 foot deep trench about 22 feet long in 1 hour.
Make more plz
I really want to! Been contemplating my next project but also need to get a replacement part for the trencher before pulling it out again.
@@beenegarage7116 what broke
Someone clearly didnt call the utility locator before digging🤦♂️
Unfortunately if it is not a utility line it is your fault.
gorilla wagon : "I give up"
Poor thing. I relieved it of trencher duty after this at great relief of the Gorilla Wagon. Relatively speaking it’s in retirement now.
Locate locate lucky it wasn't fiber-optic. ..
Thing seems like it just pulls you forward
Oopsy
lol @ cutting the internet in half. It's a great little machine, isn't it? We love ours, especially after we upgraded the hydraulic pump so it moves faster (th-cam.com/video/VIQbUcIsBvg/w-d-xo.html) 👍 Thanks for sharing this video - it was one of the ones that inspired us to order ours.
.....call before you dig bud. That’s no joke
Looks like a copy of an American made by dr.
😁😆😅🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😅🤣😂😊
Well luckily it wasn’t a power line you hit in that water filled trench and had you accidentally killing your kid.
Thankfully no luck to it since I had the lines marked before I started.
I didn't see the machine do much work. I don't care about cut cables etc. Get to the meat of the subject. Going somewhere else to find out about this trencher.
Hey Paul, sorry my video didn’t meet your expectations. I do have more footage of this trencher, is there anything in particular that would help in your knowledge gathering about this tool?
Paul, I’ve uploaded a more extensive video showing the operation of the Harbor Freight trencher. You should check it out and provide me some feedback.
Paul, except for out of box defects and long wait times for warranty parts, it gets generally decent reviews.
IL $$€€€???.
YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT YOU DIDN'T CALL ANYONE TO LET THEM KNOW YOU WERE DIGGING SO THEY COULD MARK OFF.....I'M NOT EVEN GONNA CONTINUE. HOW COULD YOU!! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING. I'M SHAKING MY HEAD.
Ha ha all caps is a little much. Yes I had utilities marked and I had watched Spectrum bury the cable. I still dig it up. I was watching out for the power for the house and forgot about the internet ;).
My boy is shaking his head better be careful it don't break his neck from how thick and heavy his head is
Who let's a toddler just run around freely while operating a backhoe next to a busy street? Dangerous
