[QUOTE="pondfishr, post: 11494, member: 225"] In my younger days I was contracted to connect camp site power poles in a developmental area. We used a ford tractor with a welded extension on the auger for greater digging depth. Once we had the hole dug we would place a slick board on the back side of the hole. Then position the pole with the tractor with the larger end next to the hole. We first tried setting them with a lift bar but found it easier to set the 25' and 30' poles by hand. Two people walking the pole up into the hole while it slid into the hole on the slick board. It took a little bit of labor but worked out well. My two cents worth but most definitely be careful those things can get away from you in a hurry. [/QUOTE]
