[QUOTE="simme, post: 1647866, member: 40418"] When I built my house, I needed about 1700 feet of water line. I used a skid steer with a rental 6" wide trenching attachment. Plenty of HP. Target was about 2 feet deep. Ground was heavy clay. I was not even close to trenching that in 2 hours. More like 8 or 10 hours. When I tried to go faster, the internal torque limiter bypass in the attachment would open -stopping the rotation. It was a nice Bradco attachment. Just my experience. When I did the parallel gas line, it was dryer and slower. I think soil type and moisture are big factors no matter the method used. Rocks will slow the trenching down. Not sure what happens when you pull the pipe along side a rock. I used 1.25" PVC. I figured I needed a minimum of 50 psig at the house. Also had a takeoff for a cattle water tub that I considered in the flow/pressure calcs. Better to oversize than undersize - at least in my case for a house. [/QUOTE]
