Grading tips?

I got a call from one of my partners the other day. He had no power in the shed he uses as a cabin. Evidently, when I did the clearing, pulling the stumps hit the underground power line to his shed. It was evidently only 6" deep. He found the break so I went over yesterday and patched it. No luck, the breaker still would not turn on. I checked it with a meter and there is still a short somewhere. He is going to get the cable and supplies, and I'll try to pully only last stump and then dig a trench deep enough and put in the new line.

I headed over today to get started. The 35g would not start. Dead battery even though I had it on a trickle charger...or so I thought. It was attached to the battery with alligator clips and there was enough corrasion over time that there wasn't a good contact. I moved them around to get a good contact and it started charging. With that little charger, it will take all day to charge, so I headed home and will continue another time.
Do you think when you dug into the power line it might have tripped the breaker on the transformer ?

This was just a 110 line run from one of our breaker boxes in the barn to my partners shed. It popped the breaker in the barn, but all our other circuits from the breaker box work fine.
