Toro's new trench filler attachment allows operators to fill trenches in a single pass. Developed for use with the Dingo compact utility loader, the trench filler is equipped with two sets of opposing augers that direct the spoils from the sides of the trench back into the hole. The attachment then levels off the work area as it continues to push material forward to fill the trench quickly.

For professional contractors and rental customers, the trench filler allows for fast, easy trench cover-up with minimal cleanup afterward. The attachment is designed to replace slower methods of filling with a shovel or rake.

“The trench filler will cover a trench faster than a machine can dig it,” says Greg Lawrence, marketing product manager for Toro. “It also minimizes cleanup by fluffing the turf on each side of the trench, leaving a minimal footprint on the ground surface.”

The trench filler has a 48-inch working width, plus a 14-inch auger diameter to enhance productivity with single-pass trench filling. The auger frame on the attachment is notched in the middle to create mounding that will compact over time — a feature that helps avoid the need for follow-up labor after the ground has settled.
