Here's some pics of the Electric pole I set with my B7500. I also dug a 300ft trench for the underground service. I did have help from my father in law's crane to set the pole.

Nice, Nice, Nice.......... How long did it take to dig the trench, did you bury the cable in conduit or was it direct buriel?

I was going to go direct buriel but decided I didn't want any problems in the future so I used sewer pipe. ( cheaper and does the same job of protecting the wire.)

Did you just use the bucket to dig the trench? I was considering doing mine, but opted to pay a dude with a ditch witch $80...

I used my backhoe. The bucket was used to fill in the trench after.
