[TowerTalk] Cable Treatment Suggestions

[K4SAV]

If your tractor has a three point hitch, look at the "middle buster" or 
"sub-soiler" implements.  They are the same except for the blade.  The 
sub-soiler blade is narrow but doesn't throw the dirt out of the 
trench.  The middle buster throws the dirt out, but it is a wide blade.  
Consider replacing the blade with something more the size you need.  
Mine does triple duty, including a radial plow blade I made, that 
dispenses the wire into the trench.
