Greetings,
OK, I used the L35 to dig the hole for the ground socket and then used the bucket to help lift the pole up and into the socket - couldn't have done the job without it!
Ground socket is 5' long with 4' in the ground surrounded by 14 sacks of sacrete. Mast is 2 3/8" upset tubing 24' long. Took a couple of days to fab the pole and sliding house mount and a couple of evenings to dig hole, install socket and then install pole. Entire gourd rack slides up and down the pole via the boat winch to do nest checks and remove sparrows.
I guess I shoulda put up a pic with the Kubota in it huh.....?
