My 89 ft tower needs a 5x5x8 hole per the US Tower drawing.

A 5' X 5' X 8' base sounds kinda small for a 72 ft tower.  What wind
calcs are you using?  Did your Bldg Dept ask for wind calcs with your
application?  Just asking to save you future problems.

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 whole
without elongating it beyond 5ftx5ft?
