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

I buried mini water pipes in my garden, and it worked very well. It solved my big problem.

Bought this in addition to a trenching hook that I reviewed previously. It worked for what I needed, and buried a 12/2 Romex line about 8” deep. 4 stars because the two U bolts that hold it on required retightening regularly despite using nylok nuts, and the nut plate being a bit chinesuim and bending. This lead to the entire feeder system warping a bit to starboard after using it to trench about 125 feet. Not enough to affect usability, but you can absolutely see the bend. The trench was in a straight line. I imagine making a turn with this installed would probably break the U bolts or the welds. Would have given 5 stars if the attachment mechanism was more robust.

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

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.

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.

As advertised

Well made, so it should do the job.

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.

Fait le travail, peu dispendieux.
