Common rental questions
How deep and wide can it trench?
The manufacturer lists up to 48 inches of digging depth and a maximum 6-inch trench width. The actual machine’s boom and chain determine the available setup.
Is it the right machine for a wide French drain?
Check the design width first. The C30X is a narrow-trench machine; a compact excavator may suit a wider drainage excavation better. J&R can help compare the options.
