Tiling last summer in 90 degree weather. I was hoping for cooler conditions at the time and now we've gotten plenty of it this winter. Thought some of you might enjoy the Cat D-4 pictures also. It's a '1959'

Great pics.Never saw a tractor drawn trencher.Looks like a nice set up.Would hope that 220 would have plenty of power to pull that machine.Is that a cable hooked to the front of the 220.Just now saw that

what model Vermeer trencher is that? Never saw one like that in these parts! ------------- sometimes I walk out to my shop and look around and think "Who's the idiot that owns this place?" |

The trencher is a 1978 PT18 and your forward movement is by hydraulic wench using a 250 ft. cable hooked to the D4 dozer. |

Nice looking equipment. I am AC all the way, but I do love those old pony start CAT's. I have a 1950 D46U with a tool bar blade and single shank rear subsoiler. Seeing your pictures makes me want to get out and work it. Thanks for sharing the pictures. ------------- The 14th Annual Exclusive AC Swap Meet will be held in Boonville, MO, March 7-8, 2025.

Do you pull with the winch for straight lines or for even pressure on trencher without taxing clutch on tractor.I take it the 220 doesn't have a super granny gear. ------------- You only need to know 3 things to be a plumber;Crap rolls down hill,Hot is on the left and Don't bite your fingernails 1964 D-17 SIV 3 Pt.WF,1964 D-15 Ser II 3pt.WF ,1960 D-17 SI NF,1956 WD 45 WF. |

| I can't believe the condition of the 220! Is that original paint? If so,someone took great care. Mine's a little weathered. |

| Transmission is in neutral while trenching. A flow control valve by the console that I operate, regulates oil flow to winch, which regulates forward speed. (slower than 1st gear). |
