Trencher

Does the collective wisdom know the maker of this machine. previous owner thought it was a Vermeer but i can not find any evidence of that. It has a plate riveted to it says HTA3650 so thought it might be Howard but again can not find similar images. Has a Yanmar diesel engine and a PTO drive. Some sort of operator manual would be easier or just pull the levers and see what happens I suppose. Ditch Witch was a common brand but I reckon after a while they were all called that regardless of manufacture. Probably ex Telecom I guess. No I don't know why I bought it.... and don't care

Bound to come in useful, especially for discovering underground pipes and cables.

Yeah, who would have all those years ago it could already seek fibre optic cable

Might be made by Hydrapower from Brisbane..........maybe..??

Telecom had lots of the mechanical drive ones converted to hydrostatic,and the Wisconsin engines replaced .

Dodgydude,
I don't know anything about it but are they an International C Line ute (or a Dodge with the same cab) and a Vauxhall Victor (or maybe a valiant) in the shot behind it? With your moniker being Dodgydude, they are probably a Dodge and a Valiant.

Looks like a Dodge and Vauxhall Victor.

Dodge AT4 and definitely a Vauxhall.

Yep AT4 and a Victor and yes there is an S series in the shed and a AP3 Royal. Just for giggles see another photo from other side showing the digger chain. And yes in the background is a green thing for your viewing pleasure. NO prizes.
