Hoo boy! I went through that too... Thought I was a big shot that
couldn't dig 3 holes.. I had a backhoe out here for another project and
asked him to dig the holes... $1,200. bucks worth of concrete later, I
had tower bases! Boy, will I ever dig in the future! Those scoops are
ok for width, but the hole ends up WAY too long!
