Trencher on CAT 299D: Standard vs. XHP?

I am in the market for a track loader and am zoning in on a 299D. I don't have any real high-flow applications for my needs except for possibly running a trencher for water lines and driveway culverts. Would a standard flow model handle a trencher in normal clay soil conditions?

    Yes, if the chain is not too wide.
