I rented one this morning to put in a new gas line from the LP tank. Did 120 ft in about 30-40 minutes with tree roots and a buried rock pile. I'll give a brief review. Simple to operate and worked fairly well but it doesn't clean the bottom very well. Left 2-3 inches of loose dirt. It's 250 lb and very awkward to handle and push around. Most of the weight is on the left front and only one wheel, can use some counterweight. Small wheels and it gets away from you on even a slight slope. Overall it did a decent job but it's not as easy and the video would lead one to believe.

es, different brand & rock filled clay, vs that demos ideal soil & it darn near killed 4 of us to get a 250 foot trench that wasn't 6 inched deep in places. A total piece of junk for our application. Never again!
 
Trenchers are bad enough! That sounds like real punishment. And you should bury gas lines and electrical cables at least 18 inches down, preferably two feet.
 
That actually looks like it would be useful here in the Sierras. Cutting the big, shallow roots before trenching might save time.
