Jeff, if you actually want 12" wide you might have to go with a backhoe. But the one I own and use is made by Ground Hog and it will do 12-18" deep, about 6" wide; which I use for pipe and cable.

I want to cut a slot in the yard about 12” wide and about 12” deep to accommodate tower wiring here on the site. In total the runs are about 1400 foot.

Is a trencher the right tool for that job?

I have no experience with that sort of thing but the rental guy I talked too scratched his head when I mentioned the 1400’ length and the fact the trench was shallow. Maybe I have the wrong rental place. Or maybe this is better a job for a mini excavator?
