[QUOTE="Colliedog, post: 6847514, member: 4877"] It had just about enough power. I made the headstock in a hurry and that wasn’t really man enough the biggest problem was the scraper kept bending. Fine for a water pipe or electric cable just not commercial scale land drainage. you have obviously done a bit already so you will already know the expensive bit is the stone which you will need for clay ground. My first saving by using a professional was the narrow chain reducing the stone per meter. Then he knew the best angles to come across the slopes in order to catch the most water. His Trencher had clocked up over 40,000 hours in it’s ‘triggers broom’ lifespan but it’s shear size and weight and the fact it could change in any plain to keep the the trench level and on the perfect run all guided by a laser set up in the corner of the field made me realise I would never bother to try it myself again. Here’s my first proper drain going in. [MEDIA=youtube]waZg3c-Hcew[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
