This small tractor video blog concentrates on presenting short videos on using my Kubota BX 25 tractor for both winter and summer activities. An important part of my blog is the "UPDATES" covering new info on my Youtube videos. Homemade tractor attachments are also covered. I also post my non-tractor videos: You will see videos on: Slug control, underwater fishing, my DJI drone, wind turbines, kitchen/cooking related, inventions, and much more.
This has to be one of the most practical and cheapest ideas yet for a tractor accessory. All you need is a length of fairly heavy angle iron and couple of pieces of chain, and an inexpensive load binder (binders can be bought for under $20). The video shows the first testing of the trencher but I have since used the trencher to dig a ditch to lay cables for my weather station. Except for a bit of manual cleaning up of the ditch, the trencher worked great. I did get some bending of the angle iron (it was working hard in rocky ground) so I will be looking for a new and heavier angle iron for the next time I need to dig a ditch. Also, the notches in the angle iron may not be necessary if the chains are good and tight. Need to do more testing to confirm this. Notches will, of course, weaken the trencher.
