Can you get to bed rock?
If so key it in and you will be fine.
I always frankie pile for my pads, ie driving star pickets in (4 to 6) at 45 degrees into the ground and have the ends extend into the pad..that makes for a very stable pad ...my last two pads each only contained around 15 bags of ready mix..one carries an EQ8 the other only EQ5 ..these are three piers to support tripods But the third set up is a central pier which used the same star picket approach and it carries an EQ6. Being on slopping ground makes frankie piling mandatory in my view help stop it going down hill..but I don't think others bother...but only because they don't think about it I suspect.
Edit..Glen does it and you can trust him.
