ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for filling a trench and compacting the dirt within the trench. A vertical auger is rotatably mounted on a frame and is positionable within the trench for compacting dirt within the trench. A horizontal auger is rotatably mounted to the frame and includes a pair of flights spiraling toward the vertical auger on opposite sides of the vertical auger to force dirt along opposite sides of the trench into the trench with the dirt then being compacted by the vertical auger. Means are provided for rotating the horizontal and vertical augers. Additional means are provided for raising and lowering the vertical auger into and out of the trench. The vertical auger is pivotally mounted to the frame and may be pivoted upwardly when not in use by a third means. Back-up plates are provided to limit the movement of dirt away from the vertical and horizontal augers. The apparatus is mountable to a powered vehicle, such as a tractor.
