Thanks

Bob a PTO trencher is going to cost around $ 6,000.00 or the chinese trencher is about $ 1,500.00 .Daylight and dark in the differences and quality.You can buy a half decent used trencher at a equipment auction ,use it and then resell it for about the same money.That may be a better option.Or save up your trenching and rent one for the weekend,in good soil you can dig hundreds of feet per day, then cover it with your box blade and loader

I think that may be good advice.

If the trenching is shallow (<= 12") the Chinese units works very well. We sell them for cutting snow or silt fence and lawn
sprinkler systems. Deep you have to go with a chain unit but
they are expensive..
