Default NorCal vibraplow

This machine presents an interesting project possibility.
All Ya Gotta Do Is..

Self-powered snow blower repurposed for summer use,
Disconnect the blower drive components,
Add on a hydraulic pump in it's place,
Add a cylinder, reservoir, pulsing valve and hoses,
Fabricate and add tapered edged plow-type blade,
Feed cable or flex pipe into kerf sliced in the soil/turf.

How hard could it be?
Your neighbors will suddenly find you (interesting and) projects for your
machine.

I've been on a snipe hunt for a vibraplow
http://ditchwitch.com/trenchers-plows/walk-behind-vibratory-plow/100sx-vibratory-plow/
in the Santa Cruz region. I've yet to find a tool rental outfit
that even knows what I'm talking about... Yet on the East Coast,
they are common...

Any suggestions welcomed.
