[TowerTalk] trencher

[Paul Booth]

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?
