Filed:

Jun 5, 2000
Appl. No.:

09/587631
Inventors:

Roger D. Porter - Loris SC 29569
Jerome C. Burroughs - Loris SC 29569
International Classification:

E02F 508
US Classification:

371425
Abstract:

A combination machine for trenching, for forming the edge of a bed, and for laying and burying tubing, cable, piping, and the like. The machine includes steerable caster wheels mounted on the rear of the machine which, together with a single front wheel, allow for a tight turning radius when using the machine. The machine also includes a blade height adjustment which allows for the trenching or edging blade depth to be readily adjusted in a substantially infinite variation. An edging blade is provided which when used with the machine forms a groove at the beds edge for the laying of irrigation lines, or lines for herbicide, pesticide, and/or fertilizer for use in connection with the bed.

The machine also includes a blade height adjustment which allows for the trenching or edging blade depth to be readily adjusted in a substantially infinite variation. Other aspects of the present invention include an edging machine and a trenching machine, both being of a compact design. Both include an extendable handle which, in a preferred embodiment retracts or folds to allow for the volume of space occupied by the machines to be minimized, preferably, to the extent that either of such machines can typically be carried in a trunk of a standard automobile.
