16-Inch Portable Handheld Mini Trencher
Dig narrow, clean trenches for irrigation, lighting, root barriers, pipe, and wire installs without bringing in a full-size trencher.
The GeoRipper GR16 Trencher is a portable handheld mini trencher built for jobs where hand digging is too slow and larger trenchers are too bulky. Its compact format makes it practical for landscaping, irrigation, utility, and property maintenance work.
Powered by a 74cc 2-stroke engine, this GeoRipper delivers 4.7 HP with a maximum digging depth of 16 inches. The 2-inch digging chain creates a narrow trench for underground installations while limiting unnecessary turf disruption.
Self-sharpening digging chains, spring-loaded vibration control, Vortex Air Filtration, and an easy pull starter help keep daily trenching work more manageable for crews and landowners.
