Trench Attachment for Loader???

[Atlanta Panther]

I'm burying a small black poly irrigation water line about 12" deep. I had a fellow with a skid steer do some other work and he just attached what looked like an 18" or so spike to his loader and made the narrow trench I needed. I now find I have to extend that line. Do they make something similar that my Kubota L3200HST could use? Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Look up video ett is using a subsoiler to bury pipe and wire. There are some videos on it and looks simple, very cool

Not for a loader on a tractor, but yes for the three point.

Could a stump bucket be used? https://www.palletforks.com/skid-steers/skid-steer-buckets/buckets/stump-bucket-for-skid-steer-quick-attach/124102.html?lang=default&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&adpos=1o2&scid=scplp124102&sc_intid=124102&gclid=Cj0KCQiA9dDwBRC9ARIsABbedBNfRbyRofbbsdhaXKxLH-YMXFTJINBgU95xQ4uUKJZXD6KIhYBOxogaAvJ4EALw_wcB

Update - I was on my phone when I first responded. I thought you were looking for a 12" wide trench, not a 12" deep thin trench.

In my opinion, you don't have a big enough tractor to use that implement.

Subsoiler modified for underground burial of cable/line.

No, not very well with a tractor.

I used my Middle Buster Plow worked pretty well

But a true SubSoiler goes deeper and thinner

 

[GreensvilleJay]

if this is a one shot deal, might be cheaper to rent a trencher than buy implement ?

If you use the subsoiler technique, I'd suggest pulling the subsoiler through the ground once at maximum depth, then come back and feed the pipe through. This way if you hit a rock, root or something else you can clear it out/adjust before hand. If you pull up as you lay the pipe you have fun getting it right again!

All well and good for cable. Water line, not so much unless you live in a temperate climate where frost depth is less than how deep the sub soiler will plow. Around here you need at least 48" bury depth minimum and that may be doable with a big tractor (like my M) but a smaller one, no way. Not enough tractor weight or drawbar pull to achieve a 4 foot bury depth.

ASC sells a complete pipe /cable layer / subsoiler in their online catalog. It's CAT 2 for obvious reasons.

Flip, post number 1 said 12" deep!

Pardon me, I didn't see that. Remember, right now, seeing isn't all that good/ Will be after tomorrow, hopefully......

For 12 ", would work fine.

Make sure your wife drives you to the ophthalmologist not the gynecologist. It would sure be an opportunity for her to get even with you for all the negative things you say about her and her horses!

Never said anything bad about my wife. How she puts up with me is a miracle. Truly blessed to be married to her. The nags are another story. I'm allergic to horse hair and a horse is like a boat, A boat is a hole in the water you pour money into. A horse is a hole in the pasture tou also pour money into with little return, if any. Give me cattle anyday. I make money on them and I can eat them if necessary. Not about to butcher a horse (though I hear in Canada they eat them. I'm not going to.

Yes, she is driving me. I cannot even see the speedometer, let alone other cars on the road.

She has never read this forum anyway. She reads and posts on the Firearm forum I''m on because she's real handy with firearms, especially handguns. A real 'Anne Oakley' with my 460 XVR Smith wheelgun, though she prefers a 45 ACP 1911. Yes, she has her concealed carry permit too. Women, in general are much better shots than men.

Right now, I'm living in a fog. Might be better that way. Who knows.

Horse meat is actually eaten in many countries, not that popular here in the great white north, at least not in my area, but I have tried it. I know there was some news about Canada exporting horses for meat, but internally it is not more popular than it would be in the US. I see more and more bison in the store or on menus where I am, that and venison, along with the regular fare

I've had horse here, smoked. Actually quite good, a fine grained meat. In Europe I've had it plenty, usually as a ground meat mixed with beef in lasagna or shepherd pie - you can't tell the difference then.

Meat is meat.

And back on the rails: I would love to use a trenching attachment where I live, but it's all backhoe work here, as the cobbles and nuggets go from baseball size to VW beetle size. If you have great soil, have at it.

 

[Atlanta Panther]

Not only do I get great information here, I get laughs as well!

Anyway, checed out subsoilers and I think that will do the trick here. The frost line is only 6" here but a foot gives me a little safety margin.

Thanks, guys!
