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

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.

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

It's OK and better than nothing. For this price, I would've expected something a bit more heavy duty considering how it's meant to be used . We will have make alterations to fit our ripper as it's older and more beefy, so this won't just bolt on. It's pretty light duty, so we'll have to run the ripper, attach this, then run it again. It's not a one go solution, but it will still save significant time versus digging out the trench to lay the pipe. I'm not convinced that this will work with 1" pipe without fighting it every inch of the way. I suppose it might work well as-is in some circumstances, like smaller diameter pipe, newer type rippers, and softer soils, but I wouldn't attach this to the ripper for the first run in our rocky clay and expect it to last long enough finish the job. On the plus side, for those with the right circumstances, it looks well made with good coatings that would last in softer soils. I don't think it's a bad product, but it's more on the light duty end of the spectrum than the listing makes it out to be.

First impressions, the welds look very nice, and steel "cage" at the bottom seems robust enough when paired with a single ripper, I have one similar to what is pictured in the description. I have heavy silty clay soils with plenty of cobbles and this did not have any issues. I was installing direct burial electric cable and it went in with ease, worth every penny.I have not installed water tubing, but I will say there is no way this can install 1" poly line with how sharp the bend is. I could see this working for up to 3/4" PEX line. Perhaps if you had someone on the three point force feeding you could do 1" pex. But the thicker walled black poly tubing would not doable.

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.

Easy to attach and has a good snug fit for getting your lines buried. This made the job a lot easier. It is a lot quicker than clearing the trench and then covering it back up.Good materials and a great value for the price.
