To the best of my understanding, for freestanding towers, you HAVE TO
have "undisturbed soil" for the
pour-- you can not dig a hole and form up for the base and backfill.
I'm not saying that's what you said re: "trencher", but you can't do
that...
Thanks to Mike Ryan, K4CVL for pounding that into my thick skull
before it was too late.

I want to see if I can get a reasonability check on the price to pour
the base for my HG-70HD. 4x4x7 1/2 feet. I'm getting the base from HG.
There are many areas where that is not possible. The back hoe does meet
"undisturbed soil". The mean, not formed and filled. Where it's not
possible, the back fill has to be properly compacted. For those in dry
sand, the base has to be made larger and it's time to hire an engineer.
