Default What to use to make trenches

I have some gutter drainage tube I guess around 5" diameter that I need to bury in te ground. I usually use a maddox for this but the stretch is quite long. I also have some 3/4 PVC I would like to bury to. So what can I use to make the trenches. I have all kinds of machine and fab tools. Pics would be awesome

This isn't my picture, but i got it from one of the other tractor forums.
The guy said this works great. He unbolted the plow section from a brinly or sears type plow and installed a ripper tooth from a box blade. I am going to try this, i already bought the ripper shank i guess they call them from Tractor Supply. I have just never taken the time to try it out yet.

I was going to recommend just the brinly plow, but I like your idea a lot better! Great advice.

I was looking around and saw a implement called a middle buster. It looks like it may make a nice trench. I would have to make a mount for it though. I like how the ripper tooth fits right on the plow beam. I don't have a plow though.

Man oh man, I just installed about forty feet of drain hose and was trying to rig something to do exactly what you have done. Great idea but too late for my old back.

Your sub soil ripper looks great. I've been using mine to pull rocks out of the ground.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
