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.
