T558III Pipeline Trencher

Dig alongside roads, curbs, buildings and walls with the fully hydrostatic sliding offset T558 Commander® 3 trencher. It’s the only offset trencher in its class that can trench outside the width of its left track. A 185-hp (138-kW) John Deere Tier 3 engine provides power for rock-solid results in cross-country drainage and utility pipe installations, as well as foundation and roadway projects. With features like the stowable loading conveyor, a sectionalized boom and auto tilt track, the T558III offset trencher delivers the versatility to tackle the toughest trenching jobs.
