A ditch trenching tool for attachment to the bucket of a front-end loader or skid-steer loader, the bucket having a linear blade and a bottom, comprising: a pair of laterally opposing sidewall plates having top and bottom edges and forward and aft edges and having a length greater than the length of the bucket bottom and a height equal to the desired depth of the trench; an inclined plate having two side edges, a leading bottom edge with corners, and a trailing top edge disposed between and attached to said sidewall plates to thereby maintain said sidewall plates in a generally vertically position, said leading bottom edge corners of said inclined plate being attached at the bottom forward edge of said sidewall plates and sloping upwards to a point several inches above the top edge of said sidewall plates thus forming a notch between the top edges of the sidewall plates and the inclined plate suitable for the insertion of the bucket blade and further several inches back from the trailing top edge of said inclined plate being bent parallel to a plane formed by the top edges of said sidewall plates; means for attaching the aft edges of said sidewall plates to the bucket; means for preventing the trenching tool from slipping sideways with respect to the bucket blade.
