I will be renting a BH to install a conventional septic system on my property and need some guidance on how best to dig a level trench. According to Environmental Health, the bottom of the trench should not deviate more than a quarter of an inch in ten feet.
Can anyone suggest methods they use to ensure a level trench. I have operated lots of tractors in my time, but never a backhoe. I have read a considerable amount about backhoe operation, unfortunately, none of it refers to specifics about digging a level trench.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed Doane
