[QUOTE="danl, post: 1172831, member: 229"] It turns out a 4" sewer and drain will barely fit in a 4.25" trench, for future reference. I put in over 400' of line Saturday. We built out house 2 years ago and put in twice the field line we supposedly needed. It still sometimes comes to the surface. That is the reason I wanted the rain gutter out past the septic tank field line. Our ground does not perk, but it is great if you want a pond. I know it is not the right way to do it, but I added 250' of 4" perforated sewer and drain to the end of the field line we already have just by making a four inch trench and laying it in, no gravel. I figure it can't hurt. Didnt cost anything, already had the pipe, already paid for the trencher usage... Oh I did have to buy new glue.. Fifteen minutes into glueing pipe together I kicked the can over :frowns: There was one downside to this cheap trencher rental, He had problems with the positrack or differintial lock, whatever... So he welded it in permanent locked position, great for digging extremely almost impossible to turn. [/QUOTE]
