With 1 more attachment it could leave the trench in good shape. Just aww a V blade to the end of the drop chute and a vibratory roller to repack the back fill

Every time I get involved with a trenching job someone goes to the job site before I get there. They figure where the trench needs to be. THEN they bury big rocks exactly In the path of the trench!

I can never figure how they even get those big VW size rocks in there. There are no tracks around. No evidence of recent excavation. It is like they have been there for many thousands of years. Just laying there waiting to mess up my day. And another thing, I think that rocks may be up to some hanky panky as there is often some little baby rocks snuggled close around the "Mother" of a rock. :smash:
