712MT MICRO TRENCHER
FEATURES:
All-hydraulic design is low maintenance and efficient
Free-wheeling hubs unlock to transport without starting the engine
Automatic wheel drive system adjusts wheel speed to conditions
Hydraulics are easily accessed for maintenance and repair
Simple controls are easy to learn and easy to operate
DESIGN
The 712MTH micro trencher feature a unique automatic wheel drive propulsion system. This trencher utilizes a load sensing hydraulic valve to adjust the trenching wheel speed to the load on the digging chain. When the load on the digging chain increase the sensing valve sends less oil to the wheel drive motor and the wheel speed will automatically slow down. When the load on the digging chain decrease the sensing valve sends more oil to the wheel drive motor and the wheel drive speed will automatically increase. This keeps a constant load on the engine, regardless of the depth of cut or differing soil conditions. Not only does this help the trencher run at optimal efficiency, it reduces stress on the components, increasing their longevity.
CONTROLS
The automatic adjustment to the wheel speed eliminate the responsibility on the operator to constantly adjust their wheel speed nothing could be easier for the novice user. One control lever operates the wheel drive & one lever operates the chain drive. After engaging the chain drive lever the operator just engage the wheel drive lever & lets the trencher do the work. When the wheel drive is in forward the chain drive won't activate eliminating costly repairs sometimes caused by inexperienced operators.
ROI
Small trenchers can become one of your leading revenue sources. With a unique design that provide limited need for maintenance & repair the 712MTH will keep going out into the field time and again without sitting in the shop waiting for repair.
TRENCHERS
Barretos comprehensive trencher line offers models for every job, ranging from micro and mini units designed for tight spaces to heavy-duty track trenchers capable of digging trenches up to 48 deep. The 712MTH Micro Trencher employs a load-sensing hydraulic valve that automatically adjusts wheel speed to maintain constant engine load, taking the guesswork out of operation. For compact job sites and shallow trench needs, the 912HM Mini Trencher provides up to 24 of digging depth and features a pivoting front end to minimize wear and maintenance. The 1324D & 1624D Standard Trenchers use an all-hydraulic, belt-free design that lowers maintenance requirements and extends component life, while their variable speed drive and reversible chain drive help dislodge debris and navigate changing soil conditions.
For enhanced traction and maneuverability in challenging terrain, Barretos 13STK & 16STK Track Trenchers include a floating track system and Adjustable Trenching Controls (ATC) to independently fine-tune track speeds on the go. The stand-on 20RTK & 23RTK Track Trenchers add higher horsepower, a wide track footprint for stability, and an optional backfill blade attachment, making them ideal for larger jobs that still require precise control. Across the board, Barreto trenchers prioritize simple controls, robust hydraulic systems, and adjustable digging speeds, helping operators of all experience levels work efficiently while reducing stress on components for a longer machine life.
