They use about a D8 cat with a vertical blade on back to pull in that size conduit for fiber optic cable about 4 feet deep. See them go right along the right of way fairly fast. No vibrator like the little sprinker system models. Just knife it in. Instead of a front blade there is a carriage for a spool of cable. Sometimes the pipe is laid out in the ROW in advance or have the spool on a separate vehicle. They usually use a backhoe to dig a trench long enough to get it started. At waterways and road crossings and other obstacles, they just start their blade at the surface and go down at an angle to depth and come out later the same way. Then they use a backhoe at each end of the splice point and an angle drill to get the pipe under the obstacle. I've thought about making a blade for my hoe or to pull behind the tractor or pickup. Just need the flex stuff to slide the pipe in. Sprinklers guys pull in pvc as well.
