Can anyone suggest a simple Trencher that Fits 3 Point? The cable only needs to be just under the grass as it's a CAT5E about a 250 feet run.

There are a lot of rippers on amazon to pick, i can't weld so i half to buy something and it's not something that would get used hardly ever.

If this is a one off install, for that price, I'd just rent a walk behind trencher.

^^^^^^

Agreed.

That is what I ended up doing recently. Rental was $230.00 a day.

Soil is hard red clay and Iron Ore. Still only took me 30 minutes to make a 100' run.

Rental company refunded me $50.00 upon return because it only took me a few hours total to go to town, trench and return.

Trencher was highly manuverable and allowed me to dig right up to
both the start and end points.

Trenched dirt was easily to backfill.
