After the top part of the trench has been cut by the Case 660 trencher fitted with a TC400X Top Cutter, it can be dug out further either by hand (around obstacles) or using the small red-coloured digger seen here (but fitted with a narrower bucket). In this photo a wider bucket was being used simply to push the spoil back into the trench for safety reasons, it not being intended to lay the electricity cable that day.
