Actually, I need to put in irrigation, low voltage and "maybe" : a gas
line (all separate) ...I'm limited, so the 255sx you mention is too
wide. I did find the 1030 on the link. Thanks.

I'll find rental one, I hope <grin>.

Thanks for the comments.

Want weird? I was looking for "ditch witch" on Ebay and found this gizmo.
It's a compressed air digging tool. You can't get much narrower than, oh,
