Re: Antique trench digger

Re: Antique trench digger
Interesting machine trenchers, a few are appearing out of the undergrowth and being restored and taken to shows.
This one looks like its based on an International power unit. War time lend lease unit or US forces import ? (my guess)
The best known is probably the one that SE Davis has taken to Dorset several times and demonstrated and to SED. There are a few early Howard ones about as well and the Giant Bruff one based on a Roadless 120 / Jewltrac conversion. Photos below. (if linking works)

There is also a John Allen unit built on a County ? in Davis's yard. (photo not uploaded yet)
