We built a lift/pump station last summer that was around 25 foot deep. It was the deepest hole I've ever been in except for a strip mine that is.

85' deep caison in Belle Chase for a cell tower (monopole).

Once drilled an 8" auger shaft into the ground 900' and never torqued out. The site was in Westwego.

He used a post-hole digger with 8' handles I'm guessing. I inherited a pair from my electrician grandpaw, best shoulder workout on earth.

I have dug a 6 foot hole with a 5 foot post hole digger when I was a kid. Why, you ask? Because my old man was an a-hole. How, you ask? Very fricking slowly
