I have to presume the tripod is not designed for climbing. I would look for a safe way to loosen bolts so I could lift the mast and antenna free from the tripod, then lay it over carefully to work on it.

An antenna alone is usually quite light, made of aluminum. A 10' mast section and antenna might weigh between 15 & 30 lbs. The challenge may come when the assembly is long and cumbersome to maneuver. This may be a two person job.

Please don't get hurt.

If the well is dry and you don't see rain on the horizon, you'll need to dig the hole deeper. (If the antenna can't get the job done, an amp won't fix it.)
