My Husband just started a new job installing cable , we are trying to figure out what tools we can use to barry cable . The cable must be barried 6 inches and using a shovel takes up too much time . Any ideas ????????
A ditch witch or a back hoe.
Yes, you need to rent a "ditch witch"

when i put the wire down for my invisible fence for the dog, i used my edger and if you make a couple passes back and forth with it you’ll have a little trench. then you take a pipe or stick 3 or 4 feet long and put a hook or loop on it to hook the the cable and push it down in the hole so you don’t have to bend down and hurt your back. thats how i did about 4,000 ft at my house and it’s still doing great. a ditch witch is great but those are for bigger jobs and unless you had like 10 installs lined up for one day it would cost more to rent a witch than you’d be making
