Abstract
A tool for burying a hose, cable, wire, or other elongate, flexible structure in the ground, the tool being attachable to the loader arm of a front-end loader, consisting of a support attachable to the loader arm of a front-end loader; an excavator; a bracket for attaching the excavator to the support; and an attachment connected to the excavator. The excavator penetrates the ground and creates a trench as the front-end loader is driven forward and at the same time the attachment pulls an attached hose or other structure into the trench behind the excavator.
Claims18
A tool and a front-end loader for burying a hose, cable, wire, or other elongate, flexible structure in the ground, comprising:
- (a) a loader arm on the front-end loader;
- (b) a support attached to the loader arm of the front-end loader;
- (c) an excavator;
- (d) means for attaching the excavator to the support;
- and
- (e) an attachment connected to the excavator and adapted to be connected to the elongate, flexible structure wherein the excavator penetrates the ground and creates a trench as the front-end loader is driven forward and wherein the attachment is adapted to pull the elongate, flexible structure into the trench behind the excavator.
A tool and a front-end loader for burying a hose, cable, wire or other elongate, flexible structure in the ground, comprising:
- (a) a loader arm on the front-end loader;
- (b) a support attached to the loader arm of the front-end loader;
- (c) an excavator;
- (d) a bracket attached to the support and an excavator pivot attached to the bracket, the excavator being pivotally engaged to the excavator pivot, and the bracket having a slot for receiving the excavator;
- and
- (e) an attachment connected to the excavator and adapted to be connected to the elongate, flexible structure wherein the excavator penetrates the ground and creates a trench as the front-end loader is driven forward and wherein the attachment is adapted to pull the elongate, flexible structure into the trench behind the excavator.
A tool and a front-end loader for burying a hose, cable, wire or other elongate, flexible structure in the ground, comprising:
- (a) a loader arm on the front-end loader;
- (b) a support attached to the loader arm of the front-end loader;
- (c) an excavator;
- (d) a bracket attached to the support and an excavator pivot attached to the bracket, the excavator being pivotally engaged to the excavator pivot, and the bracket having a slot for receiving the excavator, and a lift cable attached to the support and to the excavator, whereby pulling on the lift cable causes the excavator to pivot toward the support and releasing the lift cable causes the excavator to pivot away from the support;
- and
- (e) an attachment connected to the excavator and adapted to be connected to the elongate, flexible structure wherein the excavator penetrates the ground and creates a trench as the front-end loader is driven forward and wherein the attachment is adapted to pull the elongate, flexible structure into the trench behind the excavator.
