Abstract: A trencher with a depth indicator enables determination in real time of the depth of a trench being dug. The trencher comprises: an arm about which digging implements are moveable; a foot operably connected to the arm and being in contact with the ground when the trencher is in use excavating a trench, the foot comprising a ground contacting region; an inclinometer or orientation sensor operably connected to the arm to measure or determine an angle of inclination of the arm; a calculating element operably connected to the arm for calculating a depth of an end of the arm by using a determined angle of inclination of the arm; and an indicating element operably connected to the arm for indicating either a depth of the arm or a depth of the trench being excavated, or indicating whether the depth of the arm or the depth of the trench being excavated has deviated from a desired depth.

Abstract: A lockable floating forklift tine system including a lift carriage having at least one cross bar to mount at least one forklift tine, the at least one cross bar having a number of abutment shoulders spaced there across and at least one forklift tine having a mounting portion to mount the at least one forklift tine relative to the at least one cross bar, the mounting portion having a locking member movable relative to the mounting portion between an engaged condition in which the locking member engages at least one of the abutment shoulders preventing lateral movement relative to the at least one cross bar and a free condition in which the locking member is free of the abutment shoulders allowing the forklift tine to be moved laterally along the at least one cross bar, the locking member biased into the engaged condition.

Abstract: A ground working tool comprises a tooth holder (70) and a replaceable tooth (30), the tooth holder (70) comprising a recess (74) for receiving at least part of a tooth (30), the recess (74) having an upper surface (80) and an opposed lower surface (78), at least one projection (92, 94) of hard material extending from the upper surface or the lower surface of the recess of the tooth holder (74), the tooth (30) comprising a distal part (32) for engaging or working the ground or earth during use and a proximal part (34), the proximal part (34) of the tooth (30) being received within the recess (74) of the tooth holder (70), the proximal part (34) of the tooth having an upper surface (33) and a lower surface (35), the tooth (30) having at least one recess (60, 62) on the upper surface or the lower surface of the proximal part thereof, the at least one recess (60, 62) being of complementary size and shape to the at least one projection (92, 94) of hard material in the recess of the tooth holder such that the at le

Abstract: A drive unit comprises an output shaft, two or more hydraulic motors, each hydraulic motor being adapted to drive the output shaft, and hydraulic fluid distribution means for supplying relatively high pressure hydraulic fluid to the drive motors and for removing relatively low pressure hydraulic fluid from the drive motors. The hydraulic fluid distribution means comprises a hydraulic fluid inlet for connecting to a hydraulic line to provide relatively high pressure hydraulic fluid to the two or more hydraulic motors and a hydraulic fluid outlet for removing relatively low pressure hydraulic fluid from the two or more hydraulic motors.
