The trencher was tested with 50 hp on December 3, 2013. Issues:

* trencher could not be tested properly because the curl cylinder on the tractor loader is too weak and curling of the trencher is not possible.
* The teeth are going into the ground at the rear of the trencher which make it more difficult for the tractor to move forward. We reversed the direction of the teeth so that The teeth go into the ground at the front of the trencher. This helps the tractor move forward.
* dirt piles up in front of the trencher if the teeth are going into the ground at the rear of the trencher, and the trencher loses a couple of inches of depth by having to go over the piled up soil
