Pipe Layer Attachment Fits Hitch Mounted Ripper Shank Plow, Flexible Pipe Layer Fits Any 3-Point Ripper Hitch Lawn Subsoiler for ATV UTV Tractor, Updated Light Duty Max Dia 1.18" with 2pcs U-Bolts

It is more than sturdy enough for my lawn tractor and does its job.Great device, does the job! Easy to hook up.

I bought this for my husband and he said he was surprised how good it worked!

Who works as specified?Would be nice if it could dig a little deeper

First and foremost, the tube is bent at too sharp of an angle to allow anything near an inch wide to actually go through it. Poly pipe, which is the type you normally bury in your yard for irrigation, simply won't bend at this tight of a radius. We had two full-size adults trying to push it in and it wouldn't go around the corner. We finally used a torch to soften the pipe thinking we just had to get it started. This worked for about 6", then the pipe basically locked itself in place when it kinked inside the tube. A smaller diameter of pipe would probably at least make its way around the bend, but it's still going to kink as it goes. The radius is just too tight.The second problem is how it attaches. The criss-crossed u-bolts are held in place with a flat plate that sits on the front of the ripper shank. It only takes a couple seconds of looking at this arrangement to realize you've just defeated the purpose of a narrow shank to reduce the damage to your lawn. This thing just rips up sod wholesale and leaves an absolute mess everywhere.If you're just looking to direct bury a cable and you don't really care about tearing your grass to smithereens, this might work for you. If you intend on putting a pipe in the ground, you'd be better off renting a traditional trencher. It would probably cost less and make less of a mess for you to clean up afterward.I'd return it if I could, but it's already been in the dirt.

The U bolts are too big (wide) and will not fit the drilled plate. You will have to bend them closed by hand or buy new ones. I have the means to make it work so not a big issue for me but if you plan to go right to the field you'll be slightly disappointed. It is made with strong solid metal and can take a good bead of weld if needed. 2 Stars for the fitment, 3 stars for the metal and basic idea.

buried 200 feet of water line without an issue.

The media could not be loaded. This saved hours of trenching to install my underground dog fence. It worked perfectly!It was durable and I would highly recommend it for burying wires.

This can save you a ton of time like it did me burying drip lines for trees. I sure wish I had this before ever burying any irrigation lines by hand/shovel.This trencher is designed to bolt onto the back of a scarifier tooth on your tractor implement. As you cut through the ground making a few inch deep trench, the trencher will feed your electrical or water line into that cut in the ground. This really beats using a shovel or pick and cutting a trench to bury a drip line.This trencher is designed for up to a 1.18 inch pipe to be buried. I was using .70 tubing - so it worked just fine.Most would want to bury a drip line for a couple of reasons. Of course it looks better not having irrigation lines on the surface. You don't need to worry about running over them with a lawn mower or breaking them by stepping on them. They are protected a bit from the elements and will last longer not being exposed to the sun/snow/temperature changes.This trencher is built well and a fine design.I do have a major tip before you purchase. Take a look at how this trencher will attach to your box blade with scarifier teeth or your scarifier tooth plow attachment. It needs to bolt into a scarifier tooth and be bolted around it using the provided hardware.Attached are two pics. See that the first pic can use the trencher as the teeth can be lowered and there are holes available in the tooth to attach the trencher. In the second photo you see my big box blade. Notice the teeth are set as low as they can go. There is no access to the adjustment teeth on the scarifier teeth to attach the trencher using the box blade. This is no problem as I found that scarifier tooth plow on Amazon for a great price.This trencher is built well and works well. It is very much worth every penny as it will save you an immense amount of suffering digging by hand.You will need someone to walk along the back of the tractor and feed the spool or electrical line or irrigation line through the trencher as you drive forward - but you will absolutely get the job done so much quicker than doing all by hand.
