The only trenchers that I have seen were narrower than 12" and if you have
rocks or hard soil the machine jumps around a lot. I have very hard ground
with rocks, shale etc and I needed a pretty wide hole. I rented a backhoe
which worked well however it was a lot of work for this single op. A
Vermeer underground directional drill would be an awesome way to quickly
bury cable without trashing your yard but I imagine that would be a costly
crew.

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?
