  • In today's video I'm replacing posts and fixing up fencing around the farm. Small jobs in multiple fields but great to get it done. Dad came up with a great idea to remove the end of a broken post to keep things looking neat.

    It's heartwarming to see you taking so much pride in keeping the family farm alive. Your dad has to be a happy pappy, knowing and seeing that you are taking care of what he worked hard for. Thanks for sharing your videos 😊

    • @stirlinghulme8746

      Agreed. I am over 6ft but the extra leverage from standing in the gator makes the job so much easier. 👍

  • @michaelcoriordan
    @michaelcoriordan 3 месяца назад +5

    Hi Karen,
    Fair play to you for getting those stakes driven. By no means an easy job. When you get your loader fitted to the 390, you will be able to push them in with that. In the meantime, I would stand in the back of the gator for height and drive them that way, and if you turn the sledge sideways, you will spread the blow better over the top of the stake. I see where fencing has been added to TAMS 3. It might be something worth looking into.

    Karen like you I have destroyed many post tops over the years with the sledgehammer. Picked myself up a post rammer / driver in a local hardware to drive some posts around the house and it was a a game changer...no more damaged posts. Available in various weights /sizes from different suppliers so it may be worth seeking out one. Keep up the great work, really enjoy the vids.
