Is This the Right Machine for Me?

The HW60 is built for skid steer, high-flow hydraulics, trenching to 0.6m (0.7m optional) at widths of 50 / 75 / 100 / 125 / 200mm. If your project sits within that range it's a strong candidate — but ground conditions, site access and the exact outcome you need all matter too. Use the Find My Trencherquiz (on the right on desktop, or in the menu on mobile) for a starting recommendation, then talk to TrenchWorks to confirm it's right for your site before you buy. See the Trenchers NZ buying guide for how this machine compares across the full range.
