[TowerTalk] trencher

[Patrick Greenlee]

I own a ride on trencher, like a small backhoe but not mounted to a 
tractor or similar.  It has a 13 inch wide bucket.   I will be renting a 
DitchWitch ride-on for some trenches I need for a couple 4 inch 
conduits.  Why?  Because the DitchWitch style trencher will get the job 
done in a small fraction of the time it would take with my little 
backhoe style machine.
