Some guys Im working with are starting a new job (largest solar instalation in the northeast) and there's going to be some underground runs. I am going to be renting 2 5 ton mini ex's (either case or komatsu) and was wondering how many feet you guys think I willl get in and hour.
The ground is a soft shale to red clay, dont really think Ill be getting into rocks at all. Trench depth is to be 3ft, and will be 4ft wide, digging with a 2 ft bucket.
I am a very experienced operator (10 years) but havent done a lot of estimating. Im guessing about around 100- 125ft/hour.
What you guys think??
