Operator 7 #1 Posted June 6, 2010 A few years ago I had to put in Invisible Fencing wire on my property. At around 1800 feet here I came up with this, made for a "one time" use. But so far have done about 7 yards. It will run up to 14 ga. wire the max for Invisible Fencing. I bury it down about three inches deep. I welded a steel brake line on the back of the "knife" for the wire to feed through. I carry a sawzall to cut through bigger roots that put up a fight. I'm thinking of rebuiding it and adding a coulter to it to "cut" sod instead of "ripping" through it. Just did 389 feet today so I had it mounted up and thought, pictures!

Duff 206 #7 Posted June 7, 2010 Patent that puppy! There're a slew of folks who install that stuff commercially and I'd bet they'd love to have an implement to attach to the back of a garden tractor or ATV for the purpose. Nice design! Duff :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge 3,462 #8 Posted June 9, 2010 If you want any ideas of how to build a very good cutting knife plow, check out the Ditch Witch 250 series. I've buried well over 1,000 miles of cable with one of those... Sarge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've buried well over 1,000 miles of cable with one of those... Sarge Vibratory huh. And just a little deeper than 3". Randy Thanks guys for the comments.

Sarge 3,462 #10 Posted June 10, 2010 The engineering company I once worked for had custom blades built for doing CATV drops, max depth was 18" . The blades were only about 3/4" thick and you could literally plow cable in road gear with them and not hardly leave a mark. I owned the company record for quite awhile with over 50 services plowed in one day. I'd lean towards a rear tiller belt drive with a rubber mounted arm and an eccentric weight mounted above the blade in heavy duty pillow block bearings. Should do well in most ground....
