When outfitted
with its trench digging package, The Alpine Magnum is perfectly
suited for digging trenches for sprinkler system installation,
cable laying, and edging around concrete sidewalks and lawn fixtures.
The secret
to the Magnum's performance in trench digging is speed - utilizing
it's rapid 4800 rpm cutting head, the Magnum is capable of digging
a 20 inch deep trench nearly as fast as you can walk the machine.
Another advantage to the Magnum for trench
digging applications is its high portability. The Magnum can get in and around
nearly any work environment, and with its highly versatile stand, the Magnum
is easy to control and move.
The Magnum is especially
suited for installing sprinkler systems because of its high rpm
engine and the ease and maneuverability of use. When installing
sprinkler systems, you don't want to have to rely on a bulky, cumbersome
four wheeled machine that might not even give enough clearance
to put sprinkler lines near the house, patio, or garden fixtures.
The Magnum is great for sprinkler
systems trenches because it's easy to use, light weight, and can fit into the
back of a pickup for transportation. Additionally, it's easy to control
trench depth and it can easily negotiate corners and uneven land surfaces.
The 20 inch trench cutting depth is more than enough for most sprinkler
systems, and perfect for other lawn embedded lines, like cable or underground
telephone wires.
Unlike rototillers or other commonly used
ground-breaking machines, the Magnum cuts easily through most small roots
and clay. This can save a lot of time, especially in work environments
with shallow topsoil.
