    @JackP how far down are you now and is the whole job clay soil because if you had some good loose gravely free draining ground marshals do a drainage system for driveways ect without the need for planning permission and it goes in good draining soil just set your land drainage in the trench put a good 12" of pea gravel around it and then fill the trench up with good topsoil an the drainage goes into like a crate wrapped up underground and collects the shite and good water gets back into the ground don't think I've explained it properly but if you look on marshals website it gives a better description

    Is the ground really that compacted ? I've use them to rip up 4-5" concrete slabs and they've worked a treat rather you than me ? my other favourite way is a good old pick axe and think of someone you don't like you'll be suprise how much you can dig then

    Wouldve been so much quicker and access isn't even hard because of micro diggers can move so much more material and not have a achey elbow there a brilliant bit of kit

    Absolutley agree with @spudulike theres a old man down the road from me old john they call him hes a retired environment agency engineer and anything he puts his hand to is mended and always done properly theres a lot of folk near me who wont even use there dealer as they are overpriced uneducated know it all in my opinion therss 2 or 3 who dont know there arse from there elbow so these "backstreet mechanics" will always be about to do the job when the dealers cant ?
