I do plan to add a fair number of guys, and will be installing them just as
you have suggested. I do have a question about driving the 1 1/8" mounting
tube into the earth. The directions give a warning about splitting the
plastic insert and suggest placing a piece of wood on top of the tube and
then hammer on the wood. The soil here is clay, and the ground is quite dry,
at the present time. Do you, or anyone else, have any suggestions about
driving the tube into the ground. Should I drive a wooden stake first to
form a hole, remove the stake, and then drive the tube into the hole left by
the stake?

I have do not have guys on the HF6V I own and have had no problems at
all. WE had sustanied winds of almost 60mph this winter and no
problem at all.

Do take the time though if you have not already and add a few radials.
Cut you lawn real short,, lay down several radials, pull them taught
and then stake them in the ground with ground cloth staples (garden
center) The grass will grow right up aroound them and they will
"disapear" into the ground. Huge difference in performance.
