I am sure you could pound a sharpened I beam in at an angle essentially
becoming a drive in or screw in anchor.

Are you in farming country? The I-beam method is often used for grain legs
and other structures at farms. Find a local company that erects grain bins
and they can probably put in I-beam guy anchors for you, or it they contract
it out, can give you the name of someone who will.
I know they pound I-beams into the ground as footings for buildings, I
wonder if they ever do that for guy anchors, or always in concrete? The
method they use probably wouldn't work at an angle, basically just a rig
that repeatedly drops a big weight onto it.

Back in the olden days, I dug telephone pole holes up to 7 feet deep with
very long handled shovels, spoons and a long digging bar.
Then we would manually install the pole in the hole with pike poles.
Don't miss that!

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.

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
