[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1169838, member: 18945"] A trencher is the way to go but will still involve 'some' shovel work as it doesn't get all the soil out. Best thing to do is plan all or any trenching you might do in the near future and do it all at the same time--water lines, drainage ditches, etc to make the rental fee less onerous. If you have a close neighbor that needs trenches, you can split the cost with them and do it all the same day. I've done the middle buster thing burying some 3/4 pvc for water trough needs and it wasn't too bad but the ground was dry and I wasn't too worried about the depth. Did it with a single breaking plow once too, but I don't reccomend it. Only good thing about that method is being able to just push the soil and sod right back into place just like it came out, since the breaking plow displaced the dirt and grass over to just one side. Won't work for your current project very well tho. [/QUOTE]
