Ryan,
Would you be open to a call about the Lineward? We are pretty interested in
one of those for fiber runs but are looking for real world usage experience.
I talked with the company this morning and got a bunch of question answered but
it is tough to know how much of the answers are sales and how much we can trust.
Regards,
David Coudron

Those make a hell of a mess. Gotta stay true to the Lineward Vibratory Plow,
causes very little ground disturbance

There is a deeper EZ-Trencher that goes down about 13" We have one for our FL
crew. Works pretty well and cuts right through irrigation lines like they
aren't even there.

We got the BravePro brand rather than the EZ-Trencher as it was available
locally and less expensive. Seems to be about the same kind of equipment.
It was $2000.

Looks good for a portable installer trencher for ethernet... any idea how much
these cost?
Will need to look for something else for fiber though.

We use EZ-Trencher. It works OK for the ethernet runs to the house, but as
mentioned below, it doesn’t go very deep. The really nice thing about it is
that one guy can lift it into the back of a service van, so no need for ramps
or trailers. However the wire feed process can be a bit tricky, the Cat 6
shielded cable we use can hang up every once and awhile. One of the things we
like about it is that we rigged up a wire pickup so that you could come back
later and trench without having to take ends off the cable to feed it through.
The really daring guys don’t even unplug the cable. Works pretty good, you
just have to be careful.
From looking at the Lineward (and the Ditch Witch) I am guessing you could pull
1” conduit pretty easily for fiber runs to houses. Anyone using either for
that?

why not an EZ-Trencher? or are you needing to go deeper than that?

Looks about the size I was talking about. Small enough to fit into a work van.
But powerful enough to do the job.

I think that is going to vary depending on how much you use it.
We have a Ditch Witch SX100. Good little machine for 4-6” depth. We have
probably only run it 100 hours so far.
We also have a Ditch Witch 4010DD with the plow attachment. It has about 2000
hours on it and required a bit of work to get it back to good after purchase.
Overall, I think they are decent machines for what they do.

Subject: [AFMUG] Trencher
We are looking to buy a trencher. The vibrating type... however from what
we've been told by many people they require constant maintenance because of the
vibrations. Things are always falling apart.
Has anyone had any good luck with trenchers that are well built and will last
more than a few years? If so which brand?
