[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 688054, member: 4362"] How I do it is to attach a chain to the subsoiler. Mine has a hole in it so I can bolt the chain in place. Actualy loop chain around the bottom front of foot bolt it where the hole is for the slide on foot then bolt the chain to a short piece of pvc that is capped off. I then take a coupling and glew the pipe I'm going to run to the piece attached to the subsoiller. I also wrap this in duct tape just to be sure. Don't think this is neccessary but I do it anywhay. Prior to doing all this I go pre trench the line I'm going to use from the hookup area to the area I want water. I normally start at the well and pull to where I want water. Since I'm pulling from the well, I will pull once to the desired location then pull back to the well then back again to the desired location. Here I will glue as much of the pvc together as I can and let it cure and glue this to the sobsoil attachment. If I'm pulling more than one section, I'll place flagging on the end so I'll know when to stop. I then drop the foot into the pre-softend hole and bottom it out and start pulling. When the flag gets near the end I stop, glue, let cure and pull on until I get near the well. At the well I will manually dig out the pretrenched hole with a shovel. Normally stop about a tractos length from the supply. Tip, its best to have someone with you to keep from pulling the open end in the trough. I think its also best to pretrench the line to really soften the dirt up and create air pockets. Once you've tested the water, you can pack the ridge of dirt by simply driving the tractor down it. Also its a good idea to glue as much of the pipe togeter as possible so you will have one continuours pull rather than a lot of stop and go actions Hope this is helpful [/QUOTE]
