I've been investigating the same thing before putting one in for my dog that's gonna enclose 4 1/2 acres. In my case I called a buddy that's an electrician who can get me a 16 guage stranded for 11 cents a foot on a 1500 foot roll or 12guage solid for 09 cents a foot on a 2500 foot roll. Since my buddy can use the 12ga for what he does he said he'd foot the cost of anything over what I needed out of the 2500 foot roll. Now I've just got to find out if solid wire is usuable. As for burying it I've got another buddy that independently contracts for the cable company burying their lines so he's gonna pull it in for me with one of his cable plows. If your planning to cover a large distance this is about the only way to do it as easily and nonintrusively as possible. I know around my place I've constantly got ATV's and other equipment going so I'm gonna get him to pull it in at least 18 inches so the chance of damage is very slight. I called PetSmart about the burial depth awhile back and anything up to 4 feet deep is OK for their systems so 18 inches should be just fine. I don't believe you can rent the large machines like my buddy uses for a reasonable price, but if your not going very deep you might be able to find a smaller one, that would do just as good, for alot less money. You might just try checking the yellow pages and doing some calling around or simply keep your eyes open in the residentual neighborhoods for the guys pulling in the cable connections and find someone to do it "on the side". I know around here the guys that work for my buddy all take their machines home at night so you might be to get someone like that to do it on a weekend for a reasonable, cash, price. Good luck.

Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
