6' trench is literally in over your head for a DIYer. Maybe why it's so deep in the first place.

As long as you shore everything properly and have the right tools and time it's not over your head.

Just be sure to get the area checked before you dig

Nah…they have pretty good rental equipment in my area. The only issue we ran into was the trench caving in slightly. That may or may not have played a factor. But I didn’t a house 2 years ago with the same method and it worked well.
