OK- looking for advice here. Need to replace about 150' of water line at my Mother's house (have new PVC, has sprung a leak somewhere we can't find, so looks like open it all back up.). In the woods, very damp location that has just had lots rain. I have a full size backhoe with a 24" bucket, but it is really tight in there, and really muddy. I don't own a trencher, but wondering how effective they are in mud? I can sneak in there with a CTL, and make a lot less mess- if the trencher will actually open up a trench. Having never run a trencher- have no idea how practical this is.
