Hi. You are thinking to small, you need to have space for the future: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10BKCsVxuIM Seriously, go with a vibrator plow or a chain trencher: Maybe a little small for a 10 km run: http://ditchwitch.com/trenchers-plows/walk-behind-vibratory-plow/410sx-vibratory-plow/ This should be good: http://ditchwitch.com/trenchers-plows/ride-on/RT45-trencher/ On 2013-02-11 18:06, james jones wrote:
