Precisely Engineered. Powerfully Built. Always Dependable.
Instead of trying to use a trencher or dig by hand, utilize Burchland Manufacturing’s Silt Fence Installer. Preventing storm water from spreading is a lot quicker when using the installer because the machine precisely puts the geotextile fabric into the ground, so you don’t have to manually do it. You can trust the fence will be durable and secured.
- An easy threading rear-discharge fabric chute
- Spring-loaded, hardened-steel coulter cuts through trash, roots, and virtually any soil type
- Handy tie holes make transport secure and stable
- Forward pivot provides a 40° swing to either side of center
- Dedicated skidsteer hitch hooks up quickly to get you on the job faster
A hassle-free way of preventing your storm water from overflowing is to have an silt fence installer. To follow the rules enforced by the SWPPP, the installer can decrease the water pollution.
Our silt fence installer slices and plows through dirt to securely install the fence in no time. It originated from a contractor’s request form for a silt fence plow, and we made it a reality. The installer accomplishes the contractor’s goal by being precisely engineered, powerfully built and dependable. Unlike using a trencher or digging by hand, the silt fence installer can complete the job efficiently and securely.
The Burchland Manufacturing Silt Fence Installer can handle any tough applications. No wheels or moving parts are required to transition the geotextile fabric into the ground. The installer knifes the fabric into the ground without a fold which allows the entire width of the fabric to be utilized. By being installed this way, the silt fence is stronger due to increased ground tension and is capable of withholding washouts under the fabric. You can install thousands of feet of fabric per hour down to any depth you choose to a maximum of 20 inches.

Customer Testimonials
“I own 2 silt fence plows from you guys and one EZR blanket roller. We have put millions of feet of silt fence in with your equipment. This is the first time I’ve ever had to order parts since we have owned them. Our first was bought in 2008 and a second, once that one got worn. Your equipment has put us on the map when it comes to erosion control. I can honestly say there is nothing I would change. It is very nice to have dependable equipment to work with.”

Frequently Asked Questions
We understand you may have questions about our silt fence equipment. We are here to provide you with quick and easy answers to the most common inquiries about our products, services, ordering, and more.
How deep can the XTS install silt fence fabric?
The XTS installs fabric to any chosen depth up to 20 inches, offering flexibility for varied site regulations and soil conditions.
How does it secure the fabric in the ground?
It “knifes” the fabric into the soil—without folding—using a spring-loaded, hardened-steel coulter. This ensures full-width installation with tensioned ground contact, boosting stability and washout resistance.
What mounting options are available?
The XTS fits universal three-point tractor hitches or skid-steer quick-attach plates. Slide‑offset mounts (72″ or 84″) are optional for improved placement flexibility.
Can obstacles like roots and debris be managed during installation?
Yes. The spring-loaded coulter blade cuts through trash, roots, and tough soils. The unit also has a pivoting design and transport lock to handle rough terrain safely.
How fast is installation?
It’s extremely efficient—able to install thousands of feet of fabric per hour—making it significantly quicker than trenching or hand-digging methods.
What are the hinge and pivot features?
The XTS includes a forward pivot allowing a 40° swing to either side. It also has a solid‑steel hinge with a 1″ pin and compression-centering springs for smooth, reliable operation.
