An apparatus for installing multiple strands of hose below a surface of terrain is provided. The apparatus comprises a chassis and rotating trenching blade assemblies connected to the chassis. The trenching blade assemblies are configured to dig parallel trenches when the apparatus is pulled along the terrain. Curved hose guides are connected to the chassis in trailing positions behind the trenching blades. Each hose guide receives hose from a hose reel on reel mounts connected to the chassis and deposits the hose into a trench dug by a trenching blade assembly. Trench fillers connected to the chassis trail the hose guides. Each trench filler is aligned with a respective hose guide and comprises a number of blades configured to push soil excavated from a trench back into the trench when the apparatus is pulled along the terrain.

A power rake for attachment with a vehicle. The power rake includes a main frame. The power rake also includes an adjustment assembly operably engaged with the main frame, and the adjustment assembly is independently moveable relative to the main frame. The power rake also includes a rotor assembly operably engaged with the adjustment assembly, and the rotor assembly is independently moveable relative to the main frame by the adjustment assembly. The rotor assembly is adapted to be pivoted via the adjustment assembly relative to a vertical axis of the main frame. The adjustment assembly and the rotor assembly are selectively vertically adjustable relative to a vertical axis of the main frame. The rotor assembly is selectively rotatably adjustable relative to a vertical axis of the main frame.

Various embodiments of a multi-modal screw propelled excavation craft operable for excavating a material as the craft is propelled along a surface are disclosed.

An attachment for coupling to a quick coupler on a dipper arm of an excavator includes a rotor having a plurality of ground engaging teeth mounted thereon, and a motor for rotatably driving the rotor. The rotor may be rotatably mounted between a pair of side plates to extend substantially parallel to the ground, in use, with a cover plate extending between the side plates to extend over at least an upper portion of the rotor. Optionally, a coupling on the cover plate is adapted to engage a quick coupler provided on a distal end of the dipper arm of the excavator.
