Wolfe Wheel Trencher

Trench With Power

The Wolfe 7000 features a wheel with a maximum trench depth of 7ft. [210cm] and up to 36" [91cm] trench width. The Wolfe 8000 features a wheel with a maximum trench depth of 8 ft. [244cm] and up to 46" [117cm] trench width.

Upper Carrier Roller

The double bottom roller, upper carrier roller, drive shaft roller & rear carrier roller are a superior design in wheel trencher technology. The load is evenly distributed across multiple points, increasing bearing longevity & reducing wear on contact points.

Seat/Machine Controls

Controls are ergonomically placed on both sides of the rotating seat & move with it as it swivels. By always having the controls within reach, operators can comfortably navigate while always overseeing all areas of the job.

Cab Comfort

Increased operator comfort and reduced fatigue. The air-ride set lessens vibration and bouncing, increasing operator comfort.

Bucket Cleaners

The bucket cleaners are responsible for clearing out built up material. This allows the material to fall onto the conveyor & be distributed to the side of the trencher.

Drive Shaft Roller

The double bottom roller, upper carrier roller, drive shaft roller & rear carrier roller are a superior design in wheel trencher technology. The load is evenly distributed across multiple points, increasing bearing longevity & reducing wear on contact points.

Conveyor

The conveyor is used for distributing material to the side of the machine. With the forward/reversing conveyor belt, the material can be deposited on either side of the trencher.

Roller Technology

The double bottom roller, upper carrier roller, drive shaft roller & rear carrier roller are a superior design in wheel trencher technology. The load is evenly distributed across multiple points, increasing bearing longevity & reducing wear on contact points.

Rear Carrier Roller

The double bottom roller, upper carrier roller, drive shaft roller & rear carrier roller are a superior design in wheel trencher technology. The load is evenly distributed across multiple points, increasing bearing longevity & reducing wear on contact points.

Cutting Teeth

Multiple cutting teeth can be fixed to the buckets. Excavating teeth are standard for cutting under normal ground conditions. Carbide teeth are an option used for cutting in difficult or hard ground conditions.

Under Hood Accessibility

The hoods are designed with extra clearance when open for easy maintenance access to the engine and hydraulics.

7 Degree Side Tilt

The side tilt feature automatically or manually keeps the wheel vertical ensuring a precise grade on sloped terrain.

The XD Upgrade Package Includes:

  • 1.5" [3.8cm] thick wheel rims and buckets
  • Wider drive sprockets and wheel segments
  • Extreme duty lower rollers & upper trucks
  • 30" [76.2cm] – 36" [91.5cm] trench width
  • Heavy duty uprights and sliders, mast cylinder, and pivot assemblies
  • With the special tooth holders, it can be equipped with flat digging or carbide bullet teeth

Features

Optimal Machine Cooling

The machine cooling system is designed with variable speed reversing fans. The variable speed fans help reduce fuel consumption while the auto/manual reversing feature makes for easy cleaning when operating in dusty conditions.

Fuel Efficient Technology

Industry leading control systems reduce fuel consumption in the following ways: load sensing pumps provide full power when needed and dial back under low-load situations to reduce wasted energy in the hydraulic system; variable speed fans run at the optimal cooling speed; and auto idle reduces engine RPM automatically when the controls are in neutral for more than 3 seconds, with any operator input immediately returning engine RPM.

Under Hood Accessibility

The hoods are designed with extra clearance when open for easy maintenance access to the engine and hydraulics.

Reversing Conveyor

With the forward/reversing conveyor belt, excavated material can be deposited on either side of the trencher for flexible spoil management.

7 Degree Side Tilt (Option)

The side tilt feature automatically or manually keeps the wheel vertical ensuring a precise grade on sloped terrain.

Carbide Cutting Teeth (Option)

Carbide teeth are an option used for cutting in difficult or hard ground conditions, extending wear life in abrasive soils.

Bucket Cleaners

The bucket cleaners clear out built up material, allowing it to fall onto the conveyor and be distributed to the side of the trencher.

Roller Technology

The double bottom roller, upper carrier roller, drive shaft roller and rear carrier roller distribute load across multiple points, increasing bearing longevity and reducing wear.
