I was coming into the office with my truck and backhoe and happen to drive by as they were needing a tractor to dig up the cut cable. Needless to say I got stopped by my buddies and had to help out. I worked 24 hrs straight that time. I had to wait for a fresh person to drive the truck and tractor home after I had worked over the 15hrs. allowed to be able to drive the big truck in to the plant. A 2100 cable is 5" in diameter and weighs a lot.

What a 2100 pair looks like opened up in a pedestal
