  • NEW ROLLER FOR GROUND HOG T4D TRENCHER

    Through extensive testing, Ground Hog has found that their new roller replacement for the toothed digging chain sprocket significantly increased the life of the trencher digging chain while decreasing the risk of chain breaks. The chain rollers ride on the centre wheel of the roller while the side plates of the chain are guided by the wheel shoulders . In testing, sprocket jamming situations that would normally cause chain breaks were eliminated when using the roller.
