I am only curious now: For the machine to operate well, do you need to have level ground, with no bumps, etc? So you have to use a bucket excavator to level the ground first? Or does the machine cope with uneven terrain? What level of roughness is acceptable? Also.... after how many meters do you have to replace the belt or the its wear parts? How long can the machine operate uninterruptedly?

Ideally ground will already be prepared & level, on highway, road or cross country without boulders or large stone, to form a smooth right of way. Often top soil being removed/stipped back first before trenching, to provide high quality reinstatement. A good right of way is best & safe working conditions also benefit vehicles & equipment. Wear parts will depend on using the best carbide tool for machine & ground conditions, 1 tank of fuel per shift dependant on ground conditions etc. call 4 info

@WestQuayTrading Oh. Great to know! Thank you so much for all the info! I am a technical translator and was wondering, since I had never seen a trenching machine operating here in Spain (builders mostly use backhoes for trenching). I think this kind of machinery would to wonders in our country, where most inhabited areas have a reasonable layer of soil. Thanks a million!

@DavesTreeFarm I think an excavator would be far less efficient: I am sure that when you lay the pipe the bottom of the trench is far more rugged with an excavator, and on the other hand you would move a lot more dirt, which you then have to put into the trench again with another excavator. I wonder whether these trenches they are making in the video can be reclosed with a simple grader.

what happens if you find a rock ? this machine is able to crush it ?

[yammyharrone]

This is a very impressive machine, but i did find myself skipping about the video trying to prove to myself this wasn't a looped clip. Once you've watched essentially the first few minutes, you've watched it all!

[stegatops]

Hell! It dosent muck about!! Literally eats up the dirt.

now that's yankee know how!

@christofice I've seen excavators trench and do a fairly decent job. I was wondering about the speed of trenching comparing the two. I agree that the excavator trench doesn't look "pretty", but time is money so they say.

@DavesTreeFarm > no chance ! look how tidy the site is as it works ! now do you really think an excavator can work like that ?
