I may need to dig a long trench. Anyone have any info on the trenchers available for the PT-425?
I should have searched before posting. Quite a few trenchers out there, I see. My bad.
It looks like I will have about 7-800 feet of 2" or smaller water line to lay. The frost line is around 12 inches. I don't know yet what someone would charge to do this, but it is the kind of thing I would rather do myself for a number of reasons, one being the possiblity of gaining a new implement at low net cost. That, and I don't have enough things to break.
So, wheel trencher or chain thingy?
Thanks folks.
J.J., that thing looks a lot like a sub soiler. Quite a few people use one of those with a bit of conduit on it to bury cable.
You can pull water pipe with it using a similar attachment. The trick is to do a test run to see if there are any roots or other pipe in the ground. If the first pass is successful, then attach the water pipe and go for it. There is nothing to cover up when finished.
I don't think a sub soiler would work on the front of a PT. Maybe shallow.
