AFT Trenchers Ltd has built a solid reputation as the foremost manufacturer of specialist drainage equipment, primarily for the sportsturf sector, but becoming increasingly dominant in Agriculture.
The AFT 100 trencher is designed to create efficient land drainage preventing the soil from becoming saturated. This allows the crops to flourish, obtaining the right level of moisture to encourage good root development and natural growth. At the same time the land remains accessible for machines at all times. It is the most economical way in the long term to improve crop yields.
The AFT 100 can be fitted to tractors from 60hp and can dig trenches up to 1.6m deep and 3m wide. Options available include laser grading and pipe laying. Also a creep speed drive system can be built into the trencher for use with tractors without a creep speed gearbox.
Main Features of the AFT 100
• Neat and economical high speed trenching, up to ten times faster than backhoe or excavator.
• Easily changeable digging widths from 125 to 330mm (5" - 13").
• Twin augers put the soil on both sides of the trench.
• Continuously variable depth control, which can be controlled fully automatically by laser.
• Range of pipe or cable chutes and reel carriers for one pass operation.
The AFT 100 is primarily supplied through leading professional civil and farm contractors, but it is also an economic proposition for a large scale farmer looking to invest in his own equipment, with the freedom to install effective sophisticated drainage systems when and where he chooses at a fraction of the cost of using a contractor.
