Marcin and I built the spool assembly for the Trencher. It is too tall to get out of the garage in one piece so we had to make it removable. We finished hooking up the Hydraulics to the trencher and took it outside to try it out. It was front heavy so the tractor lost all traction on the rear tires. The trencher also didn't quite have enough power to dig, so we put another power cube on the back for additional power and counterbalancing. | |||
