  • Patent number: 4756260
    Abstract: The combination of a self-powered reel dolly and a traveling plow injector carriage joined together by a traveling hard hose supply line is disclosed. The plow injector carriage carries a multiple shank plow and a plurality of injector pipes which, when the plow blades are engaged in the ground, provide sub-surface injection of liquified sludge or other waste materials which is supplied to the carriage through the hard hose supply line. As the reel dolly winds in the supply line, the latter correspondingly pulls in or returns the plow injector carriage from an initial downfield position to a final "home" position adjacent the reel dolly. In addition to underground dispersion of the effluent through the injector pipes, an additional above-ground water gun and/or spreader manifold can be used as desired.
