The 712MT has a hydraulic wheel drive that utilizes a load-sensing valve to adjust wheel speed according to the load on the digging chain, simplifying operation.

• 6-hp Robin engine or 5.5-hp Honda GX160 engine
• Hydraulic chain drive won't operate in forward position, reducing the possibility of trenching incorrectly
• Dig chain can be reversed without having to take the boom out of the trench
• Easy to manually transport without needing to start engine
• Options of boom length, width and chain/tooth configuration for differing soil types
