Hello again All,

I am looking for some help / suggestions on the
best way to dig a 4 by 4 by 8 foot deep hole
for my new tower base.  Is the old Armstrong
method best or would a backhoe be best??
Will a backhoe disturb the earth around the hole??

Hi Ted,
If the backhoe is available gofor it. I dug my 4X4X6 hole iin a few hours. 
It helped to own the backhoe.  That was five years ago and have gone through 
at least one tornado of 150+ mph winds. So far as the dimensions  follow the 
manufacturers recommendations.
Good Luck,
Howard...K2HK
