I did ( and won't do it again ;) ... raise 6"x6" 18'-0" timbers for a pole barn by myself, 8 of them, used a backhoe for the holes, they're in over 4 feet. One of them was real heavy, so I choked it up high with a chain and set it with the hoe, still had to brace, plumb and hold to a string line, hold center to center dimensions, and backfill same at the same time, helper would have been great, the building is square considering, really should have gotten some help, but did get er painstakingly done.
The gin pole idea is a good idea, if you were to weld 2 angle iron brackets to the center of your bucket, drilled and aligned for a pin, you could easily pin a tube, pipe or similar steel member in place.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame.
