Slow the blade revolutions down to slow crawl with some form of pulley system to increase torque. Can create two of the blades to be identical, use 2&quot; - 4&quot; spacers to separate blades, and weld on jagged plates from one tooth the the other to look something like this ^^^^. Think - a bucket versus a blade, and slow is steady, steady is smooth, smooth is fast.<br /> <br /> =Initial Builds=<br /> <br /> [[Image:TractorWTrencher.jpg|400px]]<br /> <br /> [[Trencher 2 Data Collection]]<br /> <br /> [[Trencher Review and Suggestions]]<br /> <br /> ==See Also==<br /> [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trencher_(machine) Wikipedia: Trencher]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{GVCS Footer}}</div>
