Hey folks,
I've gotta dig a 70' trench that's 18" deep to lay a 1.25" gas line. My local Sunbelt Rentals has one that goes 24" deep and is self propelled. My soil is basically just hardly compact loam (hard enough to make digging a big pain) but not too rocky.
My first time using a trencher and I'm trying to plan out the day. How long would you expect a 70' trench like this to take with a trencher? 1 hour? 2 hours? 4 hours? 8 hours? More?
Thanks!
