I found out at one point that large precast blocks were not too
expensive either.

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.

8 inch or 8 feet? No way I would erect a guyed tower with anchor
buried only 8 inches

What's the soil like? 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.

Anyone ever use sonnet tubes drilled into the ground and then poured
full of concrete for guy wire anchor points? 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?
