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.
Amazon $1,949
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.

- Lowest price for a 24 in electric-start trencher
- Same 15hp 420cc engine class as the pricier clones
- Kevlar belt and 27 carbide teeth
- ZONSEN is a little-known engine brand
- 1-year warranty only
- Listing quotes a 574 ft per minute chain speed that doesn’t match the 1,800 ft per minute other sellers quote for the same machine, so chain speed is not scored
