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.

Just need the flex stuff to slide the pipe in. Sprinklers guys pull in pvc as well.
