What kind of tool to lay landscape light wiring?

[RonR]

Good point about the depth Bob. I don't think dog wire is buried very deeply though.

I at some point plan to make a special scarifier longer, as stated, to bury deeply.

THKS.

My son bought a used lawn edger for $25.00 to install his dog fence.
It cuts a 2” deep x ½” wide trench.
Works great! You could probably rent one as well.

I am going to have to find out what a "subsoiler" is. I am new to this whole thing.

This makes alot of sense to me. The only problem is, I just bought my tractor, FEL, mower deck, ballast box, and lawn roller. I need something very inexpensive. When I do get a box blade (for our gravel driveway), I want to get a decent one, and that isn't going to happen for at least two years.

Someone else mentioned this, but I thought I'd clarify. I am only going to be laying low voltage, so depth isn't a legal issue. I am planning to bury it about 4" deep, mostly so the dogs don't dig it up.

Hey, thanks for all the details. This is a good, and cheap, idea. I'll copy this information to use, once I find out what a subsoiler is. Thanks.

Oops, I didn't think to look at your attachment. That is PERFECT!

This looks like a good candidate (useful for cutting across gravel driveway too).

Uh, you might have trouble pulling it across a hardpacked drive. Especially with that wide moldboard. A chisel point type deal would pull easier and easy to fashion.

If you can't buy a subsoiler now, you could bolt a shank to the end plate of you FEL bucket. I would CAUTION that if you do this, you go very slowly as you could catch a rock or something and bend your FEL. I would not recommend this approach, but it would beat using a shovel..........

Thanks for the tips. I probably wouldn't want to bolt something to the FEL for the reason you mentioned. I was thinking a couple passes with that subsoiler might work, if the gravel was wet, and I were willing to take a few passes at it. If it doesn't, and I end up using a shovel to dig across the driveway, it would just be two paths, ten feet each, and I plan on running several hundred feet of cable, so that's not too bad.

This is what you are looking for, not a middle buster like in your link. Your BX should be able to pull something like this without too much difficulty. (maybe a smaller version, but this is the type of thing.)
