We'll dig it,
lay it and
connect it up.
Stock water lines, out to the back paddock, over to the shed. You don't tow anything, you don't work out the controls, and you don't give up a Saturday.
Tell us about the runTwo ways to get a line in the ground
Hire a machine
- Pick it up, tow it home, get it back by Monday
- First hour learning the controls
- You're guessing at depth and at where the services run
- You still have to buy the poly and the fittings
- You still have to backfill it
- There goes the weekend
Ring us
- The machine arrives on our truck
- Someone who runs it every week is driving
- We work out the line, the depth and the pipe size with you
- Poly and fittings supplied
- Backfilled with the blade on the way through
- Connected up at the other end
What we trench
- Stock water lines out to troughs
- New runs to the back paddock
- Lines across to sheds and yards
- Tank and pump connections
- Electrical conduit
- Irrigation lines
- Poly pipe supplied and laid
We supply the poly pipe and the fittings as well, so there's one mob on the job and one invoice at the end of it. Every trench gets backfilled once the pipe is laid.
Heavy rock is the one thing we'll want a look at before we quote. We'll work around what we strike, but we're not set up to cut a run straight through rock.
How it works
- Tell us about the run Roughly how far, and where it's going from and to. A photo of the paddock helps.
- We price it You get a price before we start, not an open-ended hourly rate and a nervous wait.
- We turn up and do it Dug, pipe laid, backfilled and connected. Usually the one visit.
The machine
A Vermeer RTX550 ride-on trencher with a blade on the front, so the trench gets backfilled on the way through instead of leaving a windrow across your paddock.
Got a run you've been meaning to put in?
Ground's at its best for trenching in spring and early summer. Come January it's concrete and everything takes twice as long.
