What you need now Glen is a Skid Steer. Hard work but it looks great. For installing the ground rod, you could try a 1/2 hammer drill with an old socket welded to an old bit. try driving them with that if you have a portable generator and a drill of course. JeffinMaine
That's a long trench to do!!! I don't know any specific trick for driving a rod into the ground. I am not a fan of dogs going around moving equipment. I feel they are only one distraction away from being hurt. Interesting you found a gravel spot. I wish I would find one on my property. You are very methodical for installation, but I think this requires that everything be up to code, not the place to cut corners! I would not like to be standing in a puddle of water connecting to 7200 volts wires! Lol! Do they require a constant slope between connecting boxes? Otherwise, would there be water seeping into the pipe, would this fill the pipe with water and cause a failure? Thanks!
Each vault requires a drain, but there is no requirement for a constant slope, just minimum 3 ft below the surface. The conduit pipe should be water-tight. Basically put together like a PVC water pipe, except doesn't require a pressure rating.

Skid steer is certainly on the wish list. I do get a bit and use a lightweight hammer drill in the next video.
Great work, sir.
Thank you, Mr. Ingram.

I'm late cuz my phone broke yesterday when I dropped a 12' 5/4x6" on it from 8 feet in the air 🤪
OK. We'll let it pass this time!
