Yeah, what Mitch said. They make yellow guards for guy wires;
specifically so people can see them and not get clotheslined.
It would also seem if somebody could hit the wire, they could hit your
pipe. Rather than getting clotheslined they've wrecked their ATV and
face planted into a pole. Making it more visible would be the key. If
the guy wire would physically cross an ATV trail, then moving the guy
anchors farther out would give it more clearance.
But I know I'm safely in my armchair here and can't see the situation on
the ground.
Telephone pole contractors can auger that deep. We had a guy doing 30"
holes 10 feet deep for so we could plant an 80' pole. If you want to
hit 6 feet depth, they might have something at the tool rental place for
setting deck posts. If not, then a telephone pole contractor. They can
go through rock if they have carbide rock teeth on the auger.

Maybe a chain link fence next to the guy wires
to the ground connection Extend fence out to the the point the guy
wires is about
10 foot above ground???
We do that and use light weight orange fiber duct on the guy wires to
the ground lug

Or are you talking about elevated supports for guy wires?
If so, you probably need to dig a trench for an L shaped sleeper and
the
some rebar in sonotube for the poles and anchors.

Subject: [AFMUG] Anchor holes
I have a tower construction location which is going to require 10
foot poles
above ground as an attachment point for the wires at each of the
holes. I
have the pipes constructed but I’m concerned about being able to
drill the
holes in our soil and ground to accommodate the pipes. Has anyone done
something like this before I’m not looking to do typical anchor
holes that
are 6 feet or 8 feet wide and a foot and a half across I’m looking
for an
auger hole that is a straight 6 to 7 feet down
