TEQLAND TL120200
#1 in Budget engineFull review
The lowest-priced electric-start 24 in trencher listed, and effectively the same machine as the MechMaxx 15hp. Fine for loose soil if you can live with an unknown engine brand.

3.4/5
A 15hp electric-start trencher that lists a side auger and four depth stops. Its listing states no warranty, so it scores zero on that factor.

The cheapest 24 in trencher with electric start in this group, built for loose soil and irrigation or cable runs on a property. Not a pick for gravelly or rocky ground.

The same machine as the DIGMIGHT, sold by DigSwift with less detail in its listing. Buy whichever seller states the warranty you can live with.
