Thanks everyone. I dug into it a bit over the weekend and am just going to get a backhoe in there and lay the block of concrete to the Rohn specs.

We usually use earth anchors from a utility supply company (power line anchors). An 8" anchor should be enough for a 100ft rohn 25, if you can screw it in your soil by hand.

We have a 100’ rohn that we just purchased. Two anchors are solid but the third is anchored on the top of what could best be described as a stone and concrete pillar. The concrete is all weather beaten and falling apart and if I push hard I can move the entire pillar. It’s a hard location to get machinery into but I can get a drilling machine in for putting in tubes. It can do a 16” tube dia. Thoughts? Brandon
