It looks like some pretty soft ground. The frost line where I live is four feet minimum. The ground isn't nearly as soft. I promise you they wouldn't be moving that fast where I live.
Trust me this fella will find a way he has worked in all types of terrain around new Zealand from nice soft ground you see there to papa stone ground even harder had a bulldozer in front of the tractor once years back and that had to be bloody steep to be doing that and he loves a challenge he has tools for the job and if he doesn't have it he'll make it and build it
Kathy - Yep, the first post is definitely crooked. And, yes, that soil has to be very moist, easy to drive in to. Don't just think about Texas, try anywhere in Australia. No way would this happen. Plus he's using an old-tech driver, slow and cumbersome. Not to mention dangerous. Hydraulic hammer drivers are way faster, safer and easy to use.
Oh, Ok the first post is definitely crooked? By 1/2 a degree? Do better yourself, show us your hydro hammer, big boy.. jeez, give the guy a break, 10 posts in 10 minutes
Trust me he is a perfectionist at what he does and he demands perfection from his staff. Could be the angle of the camera why the post looks out he makes all his own tools and they're made to do the job and last he'll definitely have the equipment for the Australian terrain
@@maccaspope2275 he's taken that tractor in some very steep places if you see the hills in the back ground he's come off stuff like that with his tractor winched over with a bulldozer in front of him years back
But it's crooked. What kind of soil do you have over there. I don't think this would work on blackland in Texas in the summer when there hasn't been any rain. That stuff is like concrete.
No, it it is not crooked. Go to the 14:00 mark. The post are quite straight. One post appears to be taller than the other however it is obviously located on a higher portion of the ground. The top of each post is the same height above grade
@@zbudda then they dig a post hole by hand using that clay spade and steel bar will go thru even hardest ground ,if solid rock then in New Zealand if in safe spot explosive charge is used.
its a stock fence ,it follows the ground level . Doesn't matter if its up an down as long as the post is the correct height ,the wire attached is the correct height ect big gaps under the wire or wire running into the ground just doesn't work
Well done video. Thanks for your content. Kiwi ingenuity at its best.
the stand on the foot instead of picking the post up gets me lol
Seemed very relaxed ... not rushing about ... and did 10 in 10 ... I am impressed ... Kudos ...

Well done, explained everything perfectly. You could build fence for me in Iowa anytime.

nice weather
Looks good to me and anyone thats done fencing knows they bloody move in time even when concreted.its a rural fence
Nice hillside machine
King Country is nice-and-easy pumice; try and do that in something rocky or hard.
How heavy is that weight??
Are those posts treated?
Yes - fully treated.

A hydrualic hammer looks like it would be very good on the flat, not so much on a steep hill.

Ok
She's correct about trying that in West Texas. Nothing but rock bits go through caliche and and ledge
frank white. I think the wood posts they use in NZ, is telling of the ground conditions, if it was rocky ground they would be using metal T posts?

R u kidding. The 1st and 2nd posts are not the same level. I didn't watch anymore, thumbs down

Can you not see the ground is slightly higher that's why the second post is slightly higher than the first fencing to the lay of the land
