Trenching apparatus and a method of trenching
A trenching apparatus having a trencher body moveable on the ground surface and a ground engagement boom 12 associated with the trencher body. Lifting means are provided to control and configure the ground engagement boom so as to enter the ground in a substantially vertical configuration. Selectively configurable support legs 20 are moveable between a first closed position and a second deployed configuration in which the legs are extended in a direction away from the body of the trencher, to provide support to the trenching apparatus when the boom is configured vertically and not engaged with the ground. Optionally, the ground engagement boom is an endless chain cutting boom or mixing boom. Optionally, the support legs are telescopically mounted so as to be slidably configurable between the first closed and second deployed configuration. Optionally, the legs first and second longitudinal components configured telescopically with respect to each other and the first longitudinal section is coupled to the body of the trencher and when extended in the second deployed configuration the second longitudinal component slides out of the first longitudinal component. The second longitudinal component has at its distal end a downwardly deployable foot.
