Malone post driver setting posts for electric fence

I want to build an off-grid homestead in Northern Ireland where I will grow and feed my family with chemical free and full of nutrients-packed food on a daily basis. I want to create a healthy lifestyle that my three kids will look back on fondly and to a place they will eventually call home.
My history.
I have a level 3 cert in sports turf horticulture from where I started my work as a greenkeeper working on golf courses. I have spent alot of my working career both around and driving different types of construction machinery. I have also learnt a thing or two working with plenty of highly skilled trades men. This accompanied with my own skill set, creativity, resorcefulness and efficient approach will aid me in turning this 4.25 acres of unused land into the most fertile landscape in the area, using regenative and holistic farming methods to grow my own meat and veg.

Hi Tim. Thanks for watching

[@ianbestford3884]

Great video pal, them tractors are the real deal for fence posts. Will have to look at hiring one next time we need fencing

Thanks Ian. The sledge hammer is best kept as a spare. We did that in 3 hours talking most of it not sweating

That post driver sure is handy. I did a lot of those by hand.
Where in America does your brother live?

[@LaidBackHomesteader]

Yeah thelat post driver bangs them posts in with alot of force and doesn't damage the post. My brother Steve is in Texas Gregg. He is more laid back than me!

Had a batch of these same Balcas posts soaking in oil and creosote for a few weeks now, drilled a small hole just up from the point, oil has hardly gone in, maybe Balcas use spruce and it wont take up the oil???, posts done before always take up plenty of oil but not these.

I was told they are supposed to last at least 15 years. I'm going to test 3 poles in a video before the end of summer 1 standard 1 oil soaked and 1 charred. Time will tell. Cheers for feedback EvoJigger

@@LaidBackHomesteader Soaking usually works great, my cheap big softwood gate posts soaked up gallons and are still perfect 10+ years on.
