Digging a 50-foot ling 6-inch deep 4-inch wide trench on a rocky steep slope?

It's to bury a remote gate opener sensor wire (12 volt). I'm guessing my options a 1. Shovel (back breaking) 2. Gas-powered ditch digger machine (might not handle the slope?) 3. Pressure washer (slow) ? and other ideas ? you trying to run power to the gate? or will the ditch be for a actual sensor? why 4 inches wide? will it run parell to the driveway? About the time i graduated high schools back in 1975 i helped dig a water line ditch 150 feet long on a steep rocky slope. 8 or 10 people involved no way to get a backhoe on the slope safely. my mom had remarried and had no water. it took a long time, used a jackhammer in areas, and most notably i got poision ivy between my legs  Best option: http://www.hydrawheel.com/SK-316.jpg |
