Guess it depends on size of root, and how sharp your trencher is. I cut
through allot of roots, except for some big ones. Some knotted up roots it
will not get through.
I used the walk behind. Maybe the one you sit on has less of a problem.

Have you considered using a trench digger for burying cables? A trench
digger can make a trench about 3 inches wide and 12 to 18 inches deep
quite
easily. Put whatever barrier you want in there and back fill.

What does one of these trenchers do when they encounter roots, Ron?
(kick up, cut through ???) thanks
