Onarga Nursery Trencher 
This is something new in a trencher for the planting of young 
shrubs, plants and trees. Made with three interchangeable beams. 
Illustration shows beam No. 1. 
Beam No. 1 is the middle breaker type; it cuts the dirt, moves 
it to the surface, and deposits it on each side of the trench, thus 
giving an abundance of soft earth for bedding around the roots of 
the young plants. This beam is best adapted for light or sandy soils. 
Beam No. 2 is side delivery type; it brings the dirt to the sur¬ 
face and deposits it on the side of the trench. We use this in 
heavy soil where the pull is too heavy on the team to cut the en¬ 
tire depth the first time through. We make a round with the ma¬ 
chine to each trench thus depositing the dirt on each side, but 
cutting only half the depth each time through. The old style 
trencher packs the dirt on each of the walls of the trench and if 
the soil is heavy or a little wet it produces a hard smooth surface 
and the planter is often times hard put to find enough soft dirt to 
bed the roots of the young plants properly. 
Beam No. 3 is for planting hard wood cuttings direct to the 
field. It drives a trench ^ of an inch wide and to a foot in depth ; 
thus properly handling the longest grapevine cuttings. 
These three beams are interchangeable and all work on the 
same frame. The cutting depth is controlled by a lever handle 
operated from the seat. Trenchers are equipped with marker ad¬ 
justable for three, three and one-half, or four foot rows. Neck- 
yoke or eveners not included.
