How does it do on trenching?

I GET ABOUT AN INCH AND A HALF OUT OF IT EDGING. You might get a little over a two inch trench.

Mine was used for carrying propane from the foundation to the heating stove. Really can't help with using it in a trench. It is attached to the floor joists under the house to keep it off the soil.

I've used it to decoupage myhousenumbers on a plaque on the front of my house. Gets a lot of weathering and has held up for a year so far.

I managed to dig 30 inches down with this in unmodified form. I have read of people using this post hold auger to dig 20ft deep wells by extending the handle. So it is possible to get 6 feet deep, but not without some DIY modifications.

Not necessarily, the trench will not much wider than the blade. Several passes could break up the soil, but you'd have to scoop it out with something else. A hoe is a little work and effective.

Sorry, haven't tried it yet. So far only using it for Hardie Siding and it works great.

I have used it on a 3/4 acre lot and thought it much better (and more effective) than a tow behind with fixed tines. It is much more maneuverable around beds, buildings, and tree rings and several depth settings give you choices as to how deep you want to cut. The only drawback to the device is the collection bag is too small and requires constant dumping. I used it without the bag an just raked up the mulch debris.

I purchased this last year it is heavy especially after adding the 3 point hitch and I have had to modify my mower that I use with it. It does a good job of raking but understand the small stones will still be around. I have used it as a rake for rocks and debris and also to rake dirt for leveling. To rake rocks it works okay just have to go over the area repeatedly and you may turn up more rocks. Will it rake 1-1/2" yes but it will leave some. If you are trying to make a seed bed you will still have work. I used mine since we turned up lots of rocks building a house and it works but requires lots of practice to use.

Proline trenchers although they are more expensive they work well as I own a sc10 as well just make sure they are 12mm hexes as that is the standard for 1/10 scale rc vehicles

I have used it, and still using it! It works great! I use it for plowing so I would say it gets used a lot, never had any issues with it!

I use it for vinyl siding & it gets the job done. In fact, you do need to make sure & use the right nozzle to prevent from causing any damage from coming too close with the wand. The 2nd story is a bit tough. I can get water up there but not with any major pressure. It has, however, cleaned things to my satisfaction, even the second story.

I am sorry I can't be specific because I was so disappointed in the performance of the "heavy Duty" that after it broke the second time I just gave up and trashed it. We are using the extra feed we bought by mixing it and pouring it down a piece of pipe I drilled holes and just push into the ground. We also mix the feed and spade 1 shovel depth and pour it in.

Yes, I was digging a well. Usually about 18-22 feet is our water table (the shallow one). It digs extremely well, but the gumbo clay gets stuck. You have to pull the bit out and clean it on each effort. Talk about crossfit training. I will go back to my old way of adding water through the pipe to hydro evacuate the dirt rather than using this tool. It would be great for post hole digging.

I have only used it for a small time, I believe it will do the job, but it will take some practice using the rake to get the most out of it. The field I had a chance to rake was a couple acres , it did a fair job.

All the trenches have male & female ends that will slide together to form a continuous trench as long as you want it. It came with a cap for one end. I believe I ordered an additional transition piece to tie it into the corrugated field drain. It worked very well and is quite rugged.

Well, it's not super light. It might dig in if you are not careful. It's a great sander. I might try a orbital sander with different grits.

It is capable of trenching or edging in either position. It is common to be in the down position for edging and in the upper position for trenching but if you have say a concrete edge it would be in the down position for edging or trenching. The upper position is for freehand trenching without the edge guide in use. It is really a great machine!
