Summary
The objective of this study was to reveal technical specification and operating characteristics of locally designed slant boom type endless-chain excavator (trencher). For this purpose, the trencher was tested to evaluate the quality of work at loamytextured soil but in 3 different fields: compacted untilled soil, garden plat and stubble field after maize harvesting. Trencher which can be powered by 34.6 kW tractors, excavates 161-192 m/h and 1 m depth channel depend on the varying soil condition. The variability of channel depth was clearly high comparing to others in the field covered by harvest residue,
