MiniTrencher GeoRipper Trencher 2-Stroke Engine – 20" Max Depth (GR520)
Portable Handheld Trencher • 74cc / 4.7 HP • Built for Narrow Digging
The GeoRipper GR520 MiniTrencher is a compact, high-performance handheld trencher built for contractors, landscapers, and property owners who need a fast, portable solution for narrow trenching jobs.
