I want an EZ Trencher as our plan is for landscape speaker set ups to EXPLODE (not in the true sense of the word!). Finding a used one is appearing to be impossible. However, at $2k, its not a big deal.

you guys all dig your own trenches? I just have the builder/contractor do it.

Have you worked what will happen when you hit phone, electric fence, sprinker lines?

which model was it?

and where are the pics?

I just landed another job with about 1500' of trenching to do. I was thinking of purchasing one of the EZ-Cable Installers [Link: eztrench.com] I have never used one of these and there are no rental places near me that have these.

Chris,

We used to use trenchers when we installed C band satellite systems. One important factor is the type of soil you have in your area. If you are going through rocky or tree roots count on using up belts and cutting blades. Nothing is worse than being on the job and the belt brakes or getts shredded when you still have 50' left to trench. So make sure you keep extra belts.

The size of the cable will also determine which trencher you will need to buy. We also found that the depth of the trench was never quite the depth the manufacturer claimed.
