Abstract
An excavator drop plow system includes a chassis assembly connecting a vibratory drop plow to an excavator. The vibratory drop plow includes a blade connected to a shaker weight assembly for forming a trench. The chassis assembly has a rotatable connection disposed between the boom arm and shaker assembly, permitting formation of curved trenches to avoid obstacles.
