[QUOTE="pdubdo, post: 1647894, member: 24024"] tried this over a 1700 ft stretch, laying 1” poly pipe. The YouTube videos made it look easy. first, my depth was uneven, with some poly pipe ending up only a few inches below surface. Then the pipe would snag just a bit off the subsoiler, pulling the other end 8-12” from spot to connect to the main line. i used push-connectors and every one of them leaked because its hard to work with the line when it’s buried except for the hole you dig at the connection spot. Prob spent at least 10-15 hrs jimmying/reworking/pulling out and redragging pipe. finally decided plumbing is not my strength and hired it out to some guys who were done in under 2 hrs. If your soil cooperates and can lay the line in a single piece, or you are good at high quality connections, hopefully you have better success! [/QUOTE]
