Chuck, We do almost all drops with an older case Maxi-Sneaker. Ours has the trencher and roto-bore attachment for crossing driveways so it's quite versatile. Running a drop can take us from 15 mintues to several hours depending on distance and complexity. The maxi-sneaker is a good fit for FTTH in a rural area where you may be running many hundreds of feet through the woods before you even get to the customer's yard. And of course we do the kick a spade and wiggle a slot for the last few feet up to the house or when crossing other lines, etc.
