This one will pull an 8" pipe if you put a back reamer on it. I'm putting in 2" conduit so I could pull 2 of those at a time without a reamer needed.

I had an amazing year last year. This year is starting tough but good. Had a nice 3800ft to finish up a long driveway from last year. A very relaxing place to work. The tb260 has been great. It will pick up a 4k ft reel of 2" conduit and spin 360 degree easily!
Now the tough part. Normally I wouldn't work in conditions like this but unfortunately this project is in a get footage or someone else will state right now. I got 1kft in and the mess cleaned up. Not as good as the 2 to 3kft I get per day in good ground but much better than 0ft.
Usually the plow and excavator run as a train to increase speed and decrease ground disturbance. In this mess it was walk excavator pull plow with dipper/then repeat over and over. Made for a long day but we didn't get stuck. 38" depth. 990ft pull.

Too wet really. The plow would at gone 0ft without being pulled. Usually this wet would offset plow to right side the crab the machine to get a couple ft off edge of pavement while still keeping 3 tires on the road, but there was just road then ditch here.hell that's wet going with the Vermeer

Yeah has an angle blade. It's been handy not as good as I'd hoped it be.
I've put in well over 200k ft of this in the last two years. While covering that distance I became good at spotting "signs of the culvert", that being said the very first one on this driveway I caught with the blade and had to repair. Lol! The next 5 I saw and either went over or under or swerved plow wide and round depending on the cover level.

They call it a 4way blade. Up, down, angle left and right. Also has float, with the right dirt it's great with wrong it's worthless.don't know if that's available here .. bet it's handy though ... I assume it doesn't swivel ?
