I was trying to size the equipment for you Gary. If it was "my ego", I'd go with one of these.

This was the iron pig. It came with an 18" blade
Gary has often used Ditch Witches on his construction jobs, no problem with them. Some of the ride alongs had enclosed cabs with A/C.This was the iron pig. It came with an 18" blade
No wonder it didn't work, the one I showed you earlier would have worked. We had a Ditch Witch similar with tracks that worked great.
there is a skill to that mule fo shoBuenos Dias Coffee Hosers. yesterday Gary rented a trencher. It was a worthless piece of crap. It took far more effort and sweat to haul around a 200 lb. piece of pig iron than to have used a shovel. There was an auger or the right side of the pig, designed to move the dirt out from the chain to the side of the trencher. That auger kept pulling the trencher to the right ... after an hour of ... less than desirable results ... and an equivalent loss of full days worth of sweat, Gary returned the pig. Fortunately, he received a full refund from Home Depot. (Actually, Mary Lou got the refund as Gary was in the parking lot kicking the sucker.) The early image was from Gary's shovel work.)
A homie at the races ... lol.ditch witch is what I'm talking about. Went to drag race today. Fired off two rolls in no time. One guy in the stands looked at me and said, "son, you need a proper camera". I said, "it's all I got", he said, "well, stupid is as stupid does". I don't have a motor drive so I was epileptic about the whole half hour frames per second, wearing shorts, dress socks, and a wife beater.

wearing shorts, dress socks, and a wife beater.
Only thing missing are sock garters LOL
Don't care in the least what you were wearing, but could we at least stop calling it a wife beater?
