Back in the olden days, I dug telephone pole holes up to 7 feet deep with
very long handled shovels, spoons and a long digging bar.
Then we would manually install the pole in the hole with pike poles.
Don't miss that!

Yeah, what Mitch said. They make yellow guards for guy wires;
specifically so people can see them and not get clotheslined.
It would also seem if somebody could hit the wire, they could hit your
pipe. Rather than getting clotheslined they've wrecked their ATV and
face planted into a pole. Making it more visible would be the key. If
the guy wire would physically cross an ATV trail, then moving the guy
anchors farther out would give it more clearance.
But I know I'm safely in my armchair here and can't see the situation on
the ground.
Telephone pole contractors can auger that deep. We had a guy doing 30"
holes 10 feet deep for so we could plant an 80' pole. If you want to
hit 6 feet depth, they might have something at the tool rental place for
setting deck posts. If not, then a telephone pole contractor. They can
go through rock if they have carbide rock teeth on the auger.
