I have some RG-6 coax inside some 1/2" PVC rigid conduit laying on the
ground. It feeds my 160m inverted-L ~250' behind my house. But whenever a
heavy tractor or truck drives over it, it breaks the conduit in two and
damages the coax.

If you are speaking of Sealtite flexible conduit, that'll crush.

The plans are to either replace it with rigid steel galvanized conduit or
run it all about 15' overhead.
