• Superb traction in mud, sand and soft ground
• Shifts fulcrum point applying more pressure on longer booms for better ground penetration
• More floatation and better traction for crossing furrows or cross-trenching
• Maintains effortless straight-line trenching
• Eliminates kick-back when hitting rocks or other obstacles
• Boom will not "ride up" when digging shallow trenches, or when trenching downhill - Maintains a constant depth
