TRX-16 Walk-Behind Trencher (22972) Toro

Tracks instead of wheels. Simplicity instead of complexity. The TRX trenchers are the first tracked, dedicated walk-behind trenchers that have it all. Tracks – combined with Toro’s exclusive easy-to-use control system – provide unparalleled maneuverability, all while offering the ultimate in operational performance.

Track Design

• Allows for zero turn capability
• Provides a low center of gravity and large footprint
• Increased stability on side hills
• Eliminates tire ruts and flat tires
• Operates in wet & soft ground conditions.

Exclusive Toro TRX Control System

Easy-to-use control system doesn’t require jerk-style steering like handle bar trenchers. Three simple controls operate all traction and trenching functions. Simple controls are easy for beginners to learn quickly. Similar to Dingo TX and STX stump grinder.

Kawasaki Twin-Cylinder Engine

Powerful Kawasaki engines deliver the performance you have come to expect from Toro. The Kawasaki twin-cylinder engine means your trencher will be reliable and easy-to-start. The large oil reservoir maintains a cooler running engine while prolonging engine life.
