The TS1000, with standard blade, will install dog wire to a depth of ~3.5" in a 1.5" wide trench. It will also install cable to a depth of ~6.5" in a 1.5" wide trench with optional long blade. The machine trenches, lays the wire and backfills all at the same time. Great machine for installing satellite or television cable with great efficiency. Additional cost will apply for longer trenching blade and wire guide.
