Thanks everyone, I found some very good ideas you folks have done it again. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Being an electrician I was thinking of the chanel as conduit and the pipe being the wire. Stick with me, basically I was looking at pulling from the start point. I plunge from start point and pull the tubing in as I go foward pulling the tubing in from the start point and driving on. I might try it, if not I can always convert it.

Best picture I could find.One man was at the start point unrolling,the other running the equipment.
Minimal soil disturbance doing it this way .Run wires for remote valves at the same time as you run the pipe. You can do a search for; mini/maxi sneaker,vibratory plow,pipe puller,cable puller,pipe plow.

What kind of HP is needed to pull a subsoiler? I have a similar job to do putting say 1.5" poly pipe down 18". Would my B6200 4x4 do this? Maybe make multiple passes at an increasing depth? Would sure beat digging a 150' long trench with a shovel!

Roy, people here on TBN have used sub-soilers with the little BX series Kubotas, it can be done with the tiny tractors but from what I gather it is a bit of a struggle. I've used a 24hp and a 30hp tractor and found both to pull the subsoiler without much trouble as long as the toplink is set properly.
