[TowerTalk] Next Radial - Question

[Rod Greene]

Anyone use one of the self-propelled tools that "pulls" sprinkler line for burying radials? Trenchers cause a real mess and need back filing. Maybe you're referring to a trencher that works like the puller.

I don't think a riding mower can bury them.  A big tractor (40HP) with a subsoiler can rip a rough trench.   A trencher like they use for cable and telephone lines can dig and bury at the same time but I don't know how well it would work for your short distances: near the antenna you are likely to cut one wire while doing the next.
