[TowerTalk] AB Chance anchor installation... How!?!

[Dan Thompson]

Rusty,

When I installed my 8" AB Chance anchors it took two of us, over 200LBS
each, all we had to get them down and that was in Florida soil. I used a 1"
steel bar that was 5' long and it was bent pretty badly when we were
finished. You can get that 1" round bar from a local medal fabricating or
welding shop. Get a 6' long piece and three other 200LBS guys and then you
might have a chance...AB Chance...???

  Thought I mentioned this,.. maybe I didn't. I'm on the verge of exhaustion
and not thinking real clearly. This installation is on a heavily wooded lot
and on a steep slope. There is no way at all for any machine to get back to
them (the anchors).

In short, if it can't be lugged up a steep hill and between trees for 1/10th
mile, it can't be used.

So, where do I get the solid still bar?

Also, somebody mentioned an AB Chance contractor that used a hydraulic auger
and one person (at least it sounded that way) installed them by hand.... Is
this correct, and if so, how do I get ahold of a similar person in this
area? I'm a VERY hands-on guy, but I will definitely pay somebody to twist
these things in.
