[TowerTalk] trench tool - what works?

[Eugene Jensen]

Just make note that the ground is real hard and no soft spots and they work
real slick but I've personal seen more than one of these heavy machine's
have to be dug out after they sink two feet in the ground. No fun getting
then out. Some of the contractor's use what looks like a ladder with the
rungs spaced closer together and this way prevent the machine from digging
in. 73 Gene K2QWD

Ken:

     I used a rented Ditchwitch to dig the trench for my 3-inch conduit
system to my tower.  It cost me something like $100 for a day and the rental
store delivered it and picked it up.  Check out the model 1030 at
http://www.ditchwitch.com/dwcom/Category/CategoryView/6 .  That's similar to
what I used in my back yard.

     BTW - Go to 4 inch conduit.  If you stay with 3 inch, I guarantee
you'll be kicking yourself in six months.  Recall I said I installed a
3-inch system to my tower?
