A Toro TX525 Dingo with trencher attachment - hired out with an operator - has cut a swathe of trenches across two fields to allow the installation of automatic watering for livestock, as well as irrigation purposes.

​

Mike Taylor, of Shenfield Mill Farm in Theale, Berkshire, keeps 20 sheep on the 10 acres of land.

He commented: “The trenches all link together and cover 750 metres in total. We have segmented the two fields into sectors so that I can rotate the flock through the various areas.

​

“The operator was very friendly and accommodating, completing the work within the allotted two days. He did a neat and very effective job and was able to find a way around any issues we had. Whilst much of the ground was straightforward, there were minor issues to face including stones and bricks buried around the field. It was also a bit complicated when crossing the paths to put a trench through what was left. We even came across some ancient lead piping!”
