I’m glad you all are using tools that are common and familiar - or close to. Other channels have advanced tools that are unavailable or cost extra. Your video was more relatable for the job we have planned! Thanks and great job!
Fencing is hard work.Glad it's you and I can just watch!Pounding steel posts is no fun.Wire is not cheap.Fence looks great.
Nice to see how you and your family all work together, the midwest way.
Back in the day we used cedar post. 6 inch for corners and 3 inch roughly for the fence. Had to dig holes with a post hole digger . boy was that work. Good for the shoulder muscles.
Nice looking fence little trick ive learned, use your loader bucket to drive thoses Tposts in the ground. You can get them in just a straight and faster then using a driver.
You didn't do it right...When I pound it T-posts, I like to hit a rock every 3rd or 4th post.
I realize Im kinda off topic but do anybody know a good website to watch newly released tv shows online ?
@Krew Daniel flixportal
@Leandro Marley Thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :D Appreciate it!!
@Krew Daniel Happy to help xD
love the long videos, please do more of them
This will be great info for when I'm older. Thanks for making these videos!! :)
Love your roller for the barbed wire. Ive always had to unwind as i walk but in future im going to do the same as you unwinding it.
Every time I go to drive a post in the ground I hit nothing but rock LOL
Glad Im not the only one! LOL
Fact. I wish my ground was like that, or I am just weak
lmao. agreed. im all desert . ground is tuff

Looks good Ryan. Looks like some hard ground there for pounding the big posts in.
great video thank you
Next time I need a fence I'm looking you guy's up. GREAT Job
I remember digging post holes manually
Nice work. Thanks for sharing
Looking good folks. Takes team work to set up a fence.
Nice fence. You would love doing the fence the way the folks across from me built theirs. Basically they built the corners and two gates, the rest they strung high tensile wire with a fiberglass stick about every 20 feet !! They didn't tension it right the first time though. Woke up one morning to see 15 head standing on my lawn...
Around here that spillway would need to be barred to keep animals/children out.
This is a great resource. I'm about to start with 700 yards of fence.
Job well done guys....
I wish I could be transported right now from where I am and to the place they are right now. It seems really nice and peaceful
If you are up for hard work. Not no vacation bud 😂
Hey Ryan I see you're using Channellock Fencing Pliers. Great Choice! I actually live just outside of Meadville Pennsylvania where those are forged. The Blue Grips are actually trademarked
GOOD ONE,NICE JOB
Everyone working together and what a great job you did on the fence.
Thanks for showing how it is done.
Thanks for the vid!!!
Up here in Yankee land Wisconsin all us farmers take pride in our work its always been that way we always prevail On Top!!!!
kewl video makes me miss the farm!!
you guys killed it
Beautiful grass
Hey that's a neat contraption of pounding wooden post. Lots of memories pounding metal fence post.
Hi you guys do a awesome job brings back good times growing up on a dairy farm we milked 85 head of Holstein cows in a single six parlor I try to watch every video that you put on you tube it really is a nice way to pass the time I just came home yesterday from getting my 2nd total knee replacement keep up the good work Kevin Hawkins Kingston il
Beautiful looking country
great work out for the arms I am sure.
Nothing better than those 3point post drivers
Good Job, should keep em in.
Thanks, till next time.
Nice job on the fence and thanks for taking the time to record and post the video for us! We did 3 miles of "T" posts, by hand, through a forest, every 50 ft., a long time ago, so I know how much work it is.Thanks again Ryan!
I'm in Columbia County and we just got hammered in September most of the time combining is well underway around hereby now
your corn looks absolutely wonderful! Super job on the fence, driving those t posts is hard work, especially when rocks are involved...
You make life so hard, just push the posts in with the bobcat, that's what we do with our telehandler
The bobcat wouldnt have enough weight to to that, plus it would be harder to get them straight up and down.
jcb has a attachment that hammers the post in I'd imagine bobcat has something similar.
Yeah but can you imagine how RIPPED you'd get from doing that all day? Abs like Jesus
We’d put up snow fence every year, just hold the t posts in the bucket, grab one and drive it down with it. Just set your end/corners first and have a spotter to tell if your straight. Works like a charm.
Bobcat SHOULD be able to push those posts in, but if not a front end loader on the tractor works great... we pull posts with the FEL and push in T-posts with it, easy as pie. Heck, carry the posts in the bucket so we just grab one and go.
Before we got the front end loader for the tractor, we bought a T post hydraulic pusher, basically a hydraulic cylinder and a frame sorta like that post pounder, but it bolts to the drawbar of the tractor with a single big bolt, you slap a T-post in it, wrap a little chain around the front of the post and hook it on one side, and hold the thing more or less upright with one handle, and the tractor operator retracts the cylinder with the SCV control, pressing the post into the ground. They all go in the same depth and it takes about 30 seconds per post.
We use a 10 foot stick of 3/4 PVC pipe to space our posts out 10 feet... works easy as pie and they're all evenly spaced.
Later! OL J R :)
Have you tried our Man Saver T Post Driver?
I miss it, when in the Spring, my Dad and I would fire up our old 1950 Ford 8-N, and go out to our 7 vineyards, on our 39.5 acre fruit farm, and check the end posts for broken ones, and check the couple wooden posts in the rows for broken ones. If we had to use the auger to chew up the old end posts, we used to use about a 1970's Ford 3000. Until we got a 1991 Ford 4630 rear wheel drive. In fact all our tractors were rear wheel drive. And seeing how we lived in a wet area, we could have benefited from a mid-size 4 wheel drive tractor.
u could use ur tractor with the post pounder to put the tposts in. 1 maybe 2 hits n ur on to the next post.
make a wire spinner that fit's in the quad hitch
Invest in some jakes wire tighteners, I haven't used a fence stretcher in years. It will save you hours.
So much work putting all those posts in. Sure you sleep good after that workout. What was the pit you kept going over?
Nice
surprised to see your corn so green in Oct. when do you usually start harvest there?
Good days work rite there... Not a bad Team
What are you using to spread the wire?
How do you charge?
New to this lifestyle, how often do i need a wood post?
I'm watching this just after I posted a paddock myself, god I'm tired, but the other fellas were busy so they couldn't help me.
never put in that many posts without nailing a rock or two around here! jackhammer needed at times
Nice work! Wish you'd shown how to attach the wire to the posts. I need to build a fence. Whats that big concrete hole?
Check out HOW TO BUILD A 4 WIRE FENCE YOURSELF on RUclips
Shows everything from proper bracing to stapling the wire...4 part searies
Just put new springs on my shaver pounder, what a pain, tried to call there technical department and never got a call back to see the meathed to replace the springs..just replacing the tractor supply post that are junk after ten years.
.You may want to purchase a gas powered Skidrill pounder. Makes short work of T posts. I have used mine on about 10 miles of fence. That manual pounder will get the best of you quick
Protip: get a loader tractor with a bale. The weight of the bale is more than enough to push down small fence posts. ;)
Do you recommend using mature trees as corner posts? Thanks.
Absolutely not. Trees continue to grow and will "absorb" your barb wire, and it will rust away inside the tree and snap, then you've got a mess. The staples and wire will be inside the wood, and trees eventually die. When the tree comes down, or if it falls over in a storm, it will take the fence with it and pop all the wires. When you have to cut the tree down because it's old, sick, or dead, you'll be hitting barb wire and staples and ruining chains on your chainsaw.
Move over a couple feet and put in a proper corner post with a good H brace on either side. You'll be FAR better off in the long run!
Later! OL J R :)
ALOHA! Why don't you use the Bobcat bucket to push in the stakes instead of pounding them in by hand?
13:45 Cough em up Barbie? haha
You should try letting go of your t post driver almost like your chunking it down . Keeps you from all that jarring and pulling blisters. Basically you don't want to be holding it at the point of impact. Nice job.
when are you starting the harvest
I'm quite surprised that u are using barbed wire. Is it still widely used in America? I live on a dairy farm in New Zealand and we r long past using it. Thanks for reading.
put the poles down with a loader would save u time and effort
Do you know how to make all the t posts straight up? Me and my friend are building a fence for someone all summer, the place is roughly 400'000 acres, wish us luck.
We us a d8 cat works like a charm
Here in northern Arkansas, that would post would not have gone 6 inches into the ground before exploding. You have some VERY good ground there; a t-post by hand here is a minimum of 30 hits, loads of blisters (even with gloves on) and very often bent posts.
How long of a run was that
I was wondering how come your post don't have a point to them? I worked doing fencing around home and all of our posts we used the post ponder on had a point to the fence post.
I know this is an older post but why use 6 strands of barb when you could have put up woven wire fence? I have beef cattle as well and only use 4 strands of barb and woven wire around the corn areas so they can't stick there head thru.
Curious, why barbed wire instead of of high tensile with a solar charger?
how old is your pa?
Nice job! Just one question, What is the cement lined hole in the ground and are you afraid cattle will fall in it and get hurt?
+joe polen It's a spillway. Never had much problem with it before.
Looked like it's outside the pasture.
What are those things called that u hammer the barbed wire in the fence to keep it rhere
Caitlin McCready staple
Dalton Dodson thanks
Push those t post in with skid loader bucket. Much easier
Would they cattle not fall into that concrete pit
invest in a clip bender { tractor supply } about $12.00 wonderful tool for bending the wire clips.
Yes, agree that's one of the better tools I've brought in the last few years. I still like using pliers though, especially when the clips are not well formed and need adjustment and the wire is in single strands. But the clip bender tool is excellent when working with woven wire/ field fence/ sheep netting where it is more difficult to get the range in motion needed for pliers especially on that bottom strand which is practically on the ground.
You build the fence, I'll watch the video and fart so I feel like I'm there.
Man, you boys sure do that the hard way driving the T-Posts, utilize your hydraulics for that job. Use a pipe sleeve over them much like your manual pounder only longer.
Do you guys not use electric fence? I didn't see any but I might have just missed it
Why not drive the t-post with your Bobcat?
with all the rain we've been having in Wisconsin are you guys starting to get nervous about a late start or combining?
+wisconsin hunter Whitetail Its all gone around us.
SO LUCKY all it has done here is rain, rain, rain, and some more rain. And it is supposed to rain for the rest of the week. I can't get out to work up ground
One for the steeple two for the post lol
Now you CUT that fence and get this GOD DAMN platoon on the move!
Is there any chance of the cattle getting in the spillway?
+First Last Sure, but I haven't seen it happen in the last decade so we aren't worried about it.
I was thinking wouldn't hurt to fence that off just to be safe than sorry. The drone shot is very nice
Cattle may seem dumb but they don't like holes
would you guys ever considered breaking some of your pasture for crop land?
+Kris Cipywnyk You mean like we did with this pasture?
No i mean so it is plantable
That's what we did, this pasture was originally about twice the current size, we bulldozed the fenceline last spring and planted it to corn. You can look back and watch on our channel as I recorded it all.Kris Cipywnyk
Whats that big hole in the ground???
NADJIWON CRITTERCONTROL a spillway for water
Wha this the big hole for???
what is the pit for?
Connor Rains it's for the tears of all the people on here crying about how they did everything wrong, lol
I have two hundred acres. I am not a farmer I'm a retired cop. One hundred acres in field one hundred acres in woods were I have my Morton building with living quarters. when I put up my fence well had it put up the county I live in required me to put flags between every post on the top run of wire for safety.
I didn't mind, small expense but two years later the county sent a letter telling me flags were missing and needed replaced.
Are there any regulations for your fencing in your area?
Brian Hubbard in Montana there are some, but the flags are just for a certain type of bird and only has to be on the border of state lands.
Where do u live? Russia?
Deregulation, otherwise, it sounds like you live in California. Vote Trump its our only hope.
USSBB62 you voted for trump so a man doesn't have to put flags on his barbed wire?
In short, Yes.
To me he represents smaller government, less tax, less SILLY regulations. Like the flags. Think of it. Flags on every barbed wire fence in the whole county? If not does it really make sense ? That official in reality meant "ALL" barbed wire not just what was in his jurisdiction.
In your estimation are the flags for people or animals.
Its the barbs that make you respect the fence not the flags. Some government official (at your expense) decided you were to stupid to learn by just looking or touching the barb. That it needed a warning flag to protect humans even though barbed wire has been around for at least 150 years. Now with out a say, you must bare the burden of cost and labor for installation and maintenance forever. Plus the cost of government to you and me to administer, inspect and certify the new program. When in reality its just "common sense". Barbs hurt, don't touch !!
I've never seen fencing like that here in the UK with those steel posts, is that a permanent or temporary fence?
Most likely permanent because I live on a farm and we have metal fencing for our cattle. 37 helfers, 2 bulls, and as of yesterday 2 calfs
Most farmers don't use steel post in Pennsylvania lol
Travis tell who riding on the with Ryan to smile or find something that makes her happy. Spillway I tough could be a problem but cattle will walk round it and will not try cross it will nose around the hole thing but that be all they will do. I seen cattle come to a bridge take all day to go across and if they can not see were they are walking will go around were the ground is solid.
just beacuse i am not smiling does not mean i dont like what i am doing i work 10 hours the night before then got up to make fence so please do not judge i was tierd
I worked 10 hours a day before several years and went to college and found time to smile if someone has not told you when someone does not smile it make people think you are an ass or unhappy. Make the effort to smile then people want think that of you and you may call me a sob, mf, fag ect. for have heard it for I the person who told people what to do and how to do it and was making a fun but I to can also be an ass.
I do smile maybe you need to watch the other videos
I have seen most of them but not so much of you sorry I don't mean to be mean when I said it but what have mostly seen is of Ryan and his girlfriend. It seems you are a nice person that not a bad thing maybe Ryan will show more of you from here on. To tell you the truth, I did not like that job I was working 10 to 12 hours a day most of the time had to find person to cover for the ones called in say they were working their shift.
I cringe every time I see the so called brace used in fencing ! Use an old cement silo stave...place it at below ground level "flat " up against the corner post. No brace needed. The stave helps spread out the pull force over a three foot area..and will never jack the corner post out of the ground ! Also.... put the corner post in the ground at a slight tilt opposite of the direction you will be pulling That way when force is applied it will be standing straight up.
I'm going to harvest at my uncles farm.
Why don't you use the bucket on the skid steer to just push the t rails into the ground
are your tractors in America automatic or manual . because your car's are . in ireland everything is manual
U don't come across a tracktor with an automatic transmission very often
Manual. I've personally never seen an automatic tractor.
I'm sorry but every time you drive the staple that tight to hold the wire you are creating a breaking point in the wire...use a wire stretcher to hold wire tight and wrap the wire around the post never pinch staple the wire
Do any farm people ever need to goto a gym?
For what is the thing @14:27 xd
