When I built my previous home, the power co. PPL installed a pole and pole
mounted transformer. In no time the pole was tilting/listing down the hill from
the main lines. they then drove up the hill with there utility truck with
had a arm with this hydrolytic transmission. The operators attached this female
drive adaptor then screwed it on to a 10 ft guy ANCOR .
One end was threaded and the other had a one sided tapered wing.
He lifted it up and positioned it at about 45 deg to the pole and .. WOW
spun it down to almost ground level ( it was higher then reg ground with the
pulled up shale. unwound the adaptor started a one eye end and then screwed
that on with the machine.
Were was this marvelous machine when I needed it . I dug two tower bases
and 6 guy anchor holes by hand in SHALE
in the upcoming year... and that is NO fun .... how do you spell PIC Bar ?
