Can we or can we not roll up in a huge truck and use hydraulics to force a .5" steel blade 8' into the ground?

"the ground" is a bit too vague. I could ram .5" steel blade into sand or mud with a long enough tool to maintain contact 8' down. What are we talking, stone?

It's a simple question... It is a simpleton's question.
Does the ground contain a rock, clay, or sand base?
To: Wolfie
Can you do it all over the country Wolfie?
I mean, carbide tipped or whatever.. Any blade you wish to use..
Can you consistantly ram in into the ground quickly and efficently?

No stone.. You have to ram it down 8' and sever a clay or PVC sewer line.. in a very short period of time..

1) Where?
2) What is the makeup of the ground?
3) How thick x wide is the steel "blade"?
4) Just once or repeatedly?
WHY??? With out more parameters this is a waste of billable hours.

Depends on the nature of the ground.
Dirt (as in topsoil)? For sure.
Glacial till (rough sand, fairly big rocks)? Much more difficult.
Solid granite? Very unlikely, simply pushing down on it.
There are certainly ways to tackle getting a 1/2" rod or blade 8' into the ground, but a simple press won't do it.

The correct answer, of course, is that "we" cannot.
Now, can one of us get back on his medication?
To: Jhoffa_
Iraq has a super gun that can do this.

Say, you wouldn't happen to have gone out as a "looper" for the Dalai Llama once, would you?

Engineers Only Why would someone who drives a train know the answer to that question?
