I'm wondering what it would take to replace the section of sewer pipe
from my house to the right of way. We have very sandy soil and no
trees in the front yard to be concerned with. I'm thinking it's about
a 30' foot run, but I don't know how deep it is. I'm in western NY
about a mile south of Lake Ontario. The town has already replaced
their section of the sewer with PVC and I'd like to do the same with
mine.

Is this something I could do with a couple of shovels, some help and a
lot of time or is heavy equipment absolutely required?

You can probably do it. Sewer pipes are usually pretty deep, though.
Whether you're allowed to do it by the city is another matter entirely.

My son, with a neighbor's help, replaced his. It was a lot of digging and
the use of a pneumatic chisel for busting up the clay.

Me? I'd have rented a bobcat for a day.

Can you dig down 4 or more feet with a bobcat?
Sure just make sure you get the backhoe attachment or rent one of those
small track hoes....
