1. The “Rotohoe” at work. The man at the left is guiding the machine and regulating the depth of cut by remote control sighting along the boning rods set out on the course of the drain; the man at the rear is laying the tiles through a chute at the back. The trench is dug to the full depth by means of roto tiller blades and the spoil is discharged to one side clear of the trench. 2. Special track-laying gear of the “Rotohoe” designed to translate the power of the tractor to the required slow but positive forward movement of the machine as the drain is dug to the full depth.
