ABSTRACT:
A trenching tool for releasable attachment to a bucket of a front end loader includes a pair of support brackets with a chute-like blade thereon. Each bracket includes a support arm for the blade and an integral shoulder brace portion for mounting underneath a surface of the bucket. The front edge of the bucket is received within a notch of each support bracket and is clamped thereto by a releasable upper clamp. Each support bracket includes a bearing surface for transferring forces acting on the tool to the underside of the bucket to enhance the tool's stability during use. The chute-like blade enables sod to be rolled up into the blade for deposit into the bucket upon an initial pass of the loader. Upon subsequent passes, entrenching is accomplished with the loosened dirt entering the chute for deposit into the bucket of the front end loader.
