9:37 - you mean really high water table but man this is awesome. Going to give this a go on the farm

I can hear that U joint on the PTO crying from here! I’ll be using your technique for some deep post holes

Damn right

Might have to make each rod shorter. Glad someone is giving it a go.

Three wood poles with a pulley at top, cable tool a shallow well in...sure it might take 2 days for a shallow well, but all that torch cutting, grinding, welding, using all thst metal pipe, assembly and disassembly to get the cuttings out... Budting up your pto u joints...more time and expense than if you had simply cable tooled it to 25-30 feet

I've been curious if this would work Interesting

5’ extensions steal pile 2” in diameter . Lot of in and out.

I think i can do thia alone😮

[@MrTitanscout]

Where did you get your extensions?

[@diyfi7087]

i cut up some 2-3/8 drill pipe and used short sections of 2-7/8 drill pipe as collars. you can buy the pipe by the stick (30') at Mccoys or you can do like i did and find a local vendor on facebook who delivers.
