Had a pipe in my yard that was once used to support a tree from the wind untill the tree got big enough to fend for it's self. They pounded the pipe in ,drilled a hole in the part that was sticking out of the ground and ran a wire from the pipe to the tree.
I got tired of tripping over it so I decided to pull it out. I tried by hand..... Nothin.
Tried digging it out and gave up. The ground is just too rocky as well as calichie clay.
I finally pulled it out with my Jeep and a strap. The pipe is almost 6 ft long!
Only about 8 inches was sticking out of the ground.
Why on earth would someone,somehow hammer a pipe into the ground that far to support a small tree? Must have taken hours if not days to do.
All they needed was a ft or so into the ground.
Here it is next to a full size framing hammer for reference.
