Hi Airy
In my particular case I used the eyehook to hold a split tube. But the eyehook can be bolted in, bent downward toward the blade and manage to keep the wire at least 2 inches underground. Also, if you hold the cleaver at a 45 degree angle, with the eyehook at the top, you are still setting the wire about 2 inches below the surface. In practice, I lay the cleaver across the uncut grass, whack it with a rubber mallet, tip it up 45 degrees and tap it with the mallet through the cut. Before tilting it back down for the next grass cutting whack I tamp the sod behind the head of the blade to hold the wire in place so it don't pop back out. I buried 3,500 feet of radials in one afternoon using the rubber mallet and cleaver with eyehook. I only added the split tube because I kept getting the eyehook caught in the sod which required an extra whack with the mallet. After sticking the tube through the eyehook, not only did I not get stuck in the sod, but the wire would stay in place without jumping out occasionally also. TTUL Gary |
