[TowerTalk] Hole digging question

[Julio Peralta]

Very interesting Roland. I have a few questions.

Where did the dirt go?
How much did it cost?
What were the specs for hole for the tower you installed and how close are
they to what was drilled?
What is that machine called?

Looks like a great idea to me.

Julio, W4HY

than a backhoe and save $$$ on concrete. Check out pics at

> I will be starting a tower project in about a month.  It will be a 72 FT
crank-up and the specs call for a foundation that is 5ftx5ftx8ft.  Is it
reasonable to expect a back-hoe operator to be able to dig this size hole
without elongating it beyond 5ftx5ft?
