Attachment for burying cable

Recommended Posts

Has anyone created an attachment for the rear end of a Sovereign style tractor that will dig a trench of sorts and bury cable? I have seen pictures of a couple that have been homemade but they were on three point hitches. It doesn't seem like it would be that hard. I'm only looking at getting down 6-8 inches or so and top soil by me is pretty soft. I want to bury cable TV wire, invisible fence wire, maybe some irrigation pipe. Just wondering if someone has already done this so I wouldn't have to start from scratch on the design. Thanks for any input!

I have seen people use a single bottom plow for that purpose. Simplicity made/makes one or you can use a sleeve hitch and use Brinley style plows and attachments.

I made one using the coulter from a Brinley plow. it worked for my one time deal. But coulter bent when I changed directions. One from a farm plow or disc would work much better I put a tube behind the coulter to put cable in ground

Check this out---planning also to run power to my goat shack and figured to fab something like this for my HB212 with hydro lift. I think this would be easy to make and easy for Alice to go the 18" deep. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ntj0YLrcng&feature=related
