Unless you have bored it first and are backpulling, right?

Pulling conduit can result in it basically squeezing itself thin too...I can't
go more than 150-300' without busting conduit by pulling here.

Dont pull in. Fiber is not meant for that.

Are those pull-in only or do they have a chute blade available? I'd think
that it would be pretty difficult to pull-in 600' without breaking it into
sections.

We’ve used Toro Dingos with the vibratory plow for small projects like
this. It was pretty easy and inexpensive to rent.

Just trench it yourself if none of the property owners have an issue
with it. Do yourself a favor and get a trencher with a back-fill blade though.

Hey guys --
I'd been talking with a local data center and fiber contractor in
town about running dark fiber from the data center to a cell tower that is
about 600ft from the exterior pull boxes. Both the fiber carrier I have been
talking to and the data center have their own pull box. The fiber company wants
around $100k in total for NRC + 5 yr MRC. Seems way too expensive.
The data center owner asked a fairly obvious question: the run is
short, why not do it yourself? To be honest it's not something Id' ever
considered. The data center is willing to let me pay for a cross to the carrier
hotel, pull fiber to his outside pullbox and connect to the outside world from
there. The land owner where the cell tower sits would be game as well -- I'd be
paying him rent for usage of the tower afterall.
How would one even get started with this? Ease and pros/cons of
boring vs trenching? I don't imagine I would need to worry about any protection
from conduit on a run this short
