People often looked for constant technological advancement to gauge the progression of a piece of equipment. One noteworthy evolution in the last 50 years is of mechanical drive. Trenchers used to put stuffs in the ground gradually shifted in the past several years to mechanical drive. Mechanical drives used gearboxes, Shafts, Pulleys, Chains and sprockets to steer the trencher chain. Mechanical gear are designed for provide a variable output speed from a constant speed power source or to provide torque increase for a variable speed power source as in an automobile. Mechanical drives are less costly than competing electrical drives and their control is much simpler. The disadvantage of these drives is that they are not durable and cannot be controlled as precisely as electrical drives.
