Verlegeschwertes ripper Explanation: A 'Schwert' makes me think of a 'ripper' and not a shaft or a tube. Take a look at the google search results for 'cable laying ripper' and 'pipe laying ripper': http://tinyurl.com/429yrec http://tinyurl.com/3pdlbk8 Your context should tell you whether it's for laying cables or pipes. If not, I suggest that you use just 'ripper' as the translation. I wouldn't call it a 'laying ripper' - kind of feels inadequate: keeps you wondering what is being laid. |

The machinery is a form of a subsoiler with a single blade. It is used to lay buried services of virtually any description, for drainage, water, electricity, telecommunications, gas supply etc.. A coil of the service pipe/cable is mounted on the tractor and is led down a guide behind the blade, and is left buried behind the plough, without the need to dig a deep trench and re-fill it. http://www.kabelpflug.de/pflugverfahren/rohr-und-kabelpflug "Pflugschwert" http://www.cableplow.de/description-frank-föckersperger-meth...
