Great advice above. Sounds like that should work.

When we did our 14" pipe for the sediment basins, we marked full insertion depth, had a backhoe bucket against one end and used a trackhoe bucket to push the next joint in fully. Obviously, you need someone really good on the trackhoe; but the joints are heavy enough that you can't really put much pressure against them to insert fully by hand. If you only get the joint in there a little bit before the glue works, you're pretty much done.
