Some people prove that anything is possible, and Peter Regwell is one of them. Running a primarily one-man crew (himself) for PDR Contracting with the help of his trusty SoloTrack fencing machine, this guy taught us a thing or two about efficiency!

As a carpenter I appreciate Peter doing a good job but finding ways to make it easier with what he has with him legend 👍
I'm a retired fencer wish this machine was around in my days. WHAT A MACHINE ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️. From Melbourne AUSTRALIA 👍🤠
Man, what a great video. That machine, and his talent to operate it, is very impressive. Looks like that thing could *almost* make building fence fun. 😊
For those like me who enjoy this channel because it is informative and we "just like watching people have a good time while they work," this episode is one of the best examples, and international as well. Excellent work and a pleasure "meeting" Peter and his fascinating machine!
I agree. Love watching others work. I do fencing as well and love a day when you can laugh. But I love how we can go international and share similar issues in the industry but also learn new things. Thanks for this video
Great episode. As a solo operating fencing contractor All the way from Western Australia this is a AMAZING product. World wide skilled laborious rural job struggle for long term employees .
Pete's one hell of a fencer and some machine the solotrak is too.
I don't fence, I haven't got a farm or land, I've never heard of this channel or have any idea why YT recommended this film to me. Despite all of that, I enjoyed every moment of this.
Pub. Pub. Pub, indeed.
Me too!
Peter certainly knows His job 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Very informative!! Another expert at his job!!
Wow that is a incredible machine and love how efficient it can make the installations. Appreciate you guys sharing all the knowledge and experiences. Have a great dang day 💪🏻
Fantastic Video. This guy is brilliant. If I only could have hired this guy to do my fencing years ago. He’s a craftsman & cares about the end result. Tremendous work ethic.
Great Video guys, it kept coming up in my feed and I kept ignoring it. I am happy I watched it in the end. Very cool. Peter is clearly passionate about his work, and trust the innovation of the Kiwi’s to develop the machine. Thanks all👍
Really good video neat to see how folks do things in other countries . thanks for posting.
Lots of information and cooperation in this one. Thanks guys. I spent a summer piloting a beautiful John Deere with a large post banger on the rear. It could drive fence posts and telephone poles into hard ground. The boss (fencer of 30+ years experience) knew what to do if the pole stopped hard before fully planted. He poured a bucket of water down beside the pole and they all went in after that. Skilled work. A great summer. Take care all.
Sweet set up. I used to run barbed wire with an old Portuguese rancher named Manuel Rose. I miss that guy. I can still make the wire sing. Just used a sledgehammer, 15:28 wire fencing pliers, and a hatchet. I was working on a ridge one day some years ago up in the Santa Cruz Mountains. As I finished the job a light breeze came up and I smelled his cologne which smelled like hay. No hay around that day. So I just said I know you are here old man, I did it just like you taught me. Laugh if you want, but he was there, just checking up on my work. Take care
Holy cow!!! He had that railroad tie DEAD ON square !!! And it looked like he just slapped it in!
Very very interesting nice to show the yanks a thing or too🏴😉👏👏👏👏👏
Awesome video! Very impressive machine and great knowledge!
I love watching people who actually know how to do their job well!!!
We do too!
OMG ! What I would have given for a machine like that 40 + years ago ! Good video !
This is the definition of working smarter not harder.
Awesome video, Thanks for the time it took to produce.
Brilliant operation.
Respect to all of you.
Hello, I really enjoy the content you guy’s are putting out. Entertaining and educational. The video when the guys put your trailer in the ditch was awesome! Going back about 20 years ago I was coming over a large hill with a brand new 16’ enclosed trailer, inside it was a Finn Eagle 254 miniature skid steer and a cement mixer. I looked over to my right and a 16’ trailer was passing me in the right lane. It smashed smashed into and busted through the guardrail in to the median ditch. I was relieved it didn’t kill anyone. I let one of my guys hook up the tailer, he locked the hitch on top of the ball. This business is only for the crazy, keep on fencing. Great content!
Only for the crazy--I like that!
Live in Australia, fencing by the 1000 kilometers not by me but others, great show & very entertaining, keep up the good work.👍
One of the best pro fencers on RUclips, awesome job Peter 👊🏻👌🏻👍🏻
I could see you guys getting your own show on HGTV, seriously. Great video guys, informative and entertaining.
Maybe one day!
Beautiful, just beautiful!
that was awesome...nicely done
This was excellent!
Amazing! Now be able to add 3-4-or 5 roll of wires to keep tight while stapling, my opinion 👍👍👍👍
LOVE the edits !!
Super brilliant work mate
Cool video guys -- nice to see these methods and tools
Simply the Best , great vlog..
Now I have to go back to work building fences, while thinking about this machine.
The only thing I would add to this system is a set of Forstner drill bits to aid in easily making mortise holes.
Drill the center and quickly chisel the corners.
That is the coolest Machines I've ever seen. My boss and every one i work with is getting this video LINK LOL
I want one of those. That's a badass machine. It's got everything on it but a build in ice box. Nice
Wow outstanding machine ty
Awesome job 👏
Just had some fence done on a paddock here in Norfolk UK, the tension posts are done differently here. Two vertical posts with a horizontal one between and wire from the top of the inner post to the base of the end post, that way all the forces are internal except for the shear force trying to drag the end post horizontally through the ground, from an engineers perspective an elegant solution.
And that wire you mentioned from the top to the bottom (Should) have a Large * Turn-Buckle * incorporated into the wire for future tensions when it would need be. That's how l did all my fences , with End Post. In timber or steel. 😁
Hi Randall in Laramie
Awesome fencing and the machine. Cool to watch.
I operate a machine very similar to this to collect soil samples and install monitoring wells.
wow that was awesome good guys good machine good luck keep safe
Quality set up! Proper English job...😊
Absolutely amazing bit of "kit" We need some more people like this guy in the world.
A watchmaker would love this machine - many, many complications each with a purpose and a function and all crammed into a compact package.
and again you've done it for me....EXCELENT, the future is here
Wow nice job ... I love the machine
That was a pleasure to watch (just having cut, dragged, peeled, dug and set about 60 fence posts myself). You mentioned that skilled labour is hard to find.. it is really strange right now! There are tons of low income jobs out there where most people can't make a living (I have children so working 4 jobs is not something that I would want to do). Finding a good job is really hard. On the other hand if you are an electrician or any trades person and you are self employed you do very well right now. I think government is expanding rapidly but finding a good job where you are striving to better something is probably extremely hard as well. It seems to be all over the place especially since the shutdown.
I remember a 4 years ago or so.. I read a job offer (I got a degree in forestry) 4 years ago: so they were looking for the perfect (ridiculous.. like perfect in everything like communication, sience, degree, etc.) candidate. "Only" 30 people applied and they ended up picking one person and paid about 20-25$/h (minimum wage was around 10$/h). I still don't quite understand what is going on. I didn't apply for that job because I felt that I wasn't perfect and if I was then I wouldn't have worked for that money anyway. Just to put that into perspective. An electrician is charing around 100-300$/h. So I think it has a lot to do in what field you are in too.
Love the vid Sir........so interesting as here in nz fencing is a big thing, usually just be eye, no string line haha or GPS right, most vineyards have been marked out this way 🙂
That was awesome. Thanks
You bet!
THANK YOU
true professional.
I am not a fence builder but this was awesome!
flipping awesome ..
For you business owners out there!!!! You can still find young guys who want to work and be taught, if you know how to teach cause that’s a skill in itself. Pass this knowledge on. How are we gonna become skilled workers if you guys don’t give us a chance
Wow we need these in New Zealand
Nice kit!
It is!
Great video love that equipment
Thanks 👍
At work we have a saying when things appear to be difficult, "Find the laziest man to do the hardest job." He will always find a way to get the job done easier. Haha
There’s a lot of truth in that!! There’s nothing wrong with being lazy to a degree….as long as you still have pride in your work and still want the same or better level of achievement…….as the man said ‘being lazy finds the most efficient ideas’ 👌🏻
Really interesting thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
That would be so nice to have!!!
Great videos
Mate, ever come over to Oz, look me up and I'll hook you up with a few contractors here. I don't use heavy machinery and another contractor mate does, he's built his own machines like the solo track. We both do a lot of steel and would be happy to show you the differences to other parts of the world. Keep up the great work.
Can I get your contact details to keep on file? Email nick@swiwyoming.com and send your info to him. 👍🏻
@@SWiFence Will do
How can I give 2 thumbs up? Because you deserve it! Cheers from Tampa Bay.
Amazing
Excellent but I think you would struggle on the damp ground along my boundary’s, not that I anticipate having to replace my fence for many years on
Believe it or not I was installing fences by myself with my trusty old Bobcat 843, auger and homemade fence dispenser.
Gittin' it done!
👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🔱🔱🔱great video gents. That fencing machine is like a mini piling rig.
Well this is amazing! Free ideas the equipment will need a loan or a man with deep pockets.
Where do you get a cordless crimper tool? Ive been wishing for one for years.
This guy is very prideful of his fence being dead on and lasting forever. The work he did on that Tenon and Mortise
We call it a Strainer post here in OZ
Come to nz and have a look more ideas
Hi there, fellow fencer from NZ here.
Real interested in them chains with the rollers to hold the post from walking away while driven??? Saw you taking a photo.....care to share please??
quite the machine one man job
Hi, bud I love your videos and what you'll do with the no dig poles. I seen just now where you said you have no workers. Im willing to work for you if you want to hire me. I have 10 years of fence work under my belt but also willing to learn more about what you do.
I used nipex for tie rebar different style
17:37 This SOB is just funny LOL.
Bloody amazing . Do they have those here in Australia
I think they ship them anywhere.
PDR are based near me. Did Peter mention how much fence he can put up in a day? Somebody locally told me a distance that I didn't believe was possible even with that machine.
I am an old fencer and are now setting up a new farm in Devon on a rock base that is 10" below the topsoil surface. Will this machine drill the rock ok. It is what I call soft rock, not granite. Do you know anyone in the Okehampton area that operates a machine like this please?
Should come up to elgin north of scotland to Tony weir fencing contractors
I'm digging 36" post holes in rocky soil now. It most certainly ain't easy nor quick by hand. Satisfying nonetheless...
There's no shame in it, to be certain, it's just not my cup of tea. 👍🏻
Down here in way south Florida, Homestead. I had a yard fence put in and because of the limestone ( oolite) was so near the surface I had to hire a guy, Johnny Posthole, to come and drill the holes to set the metal fence posts in. Very interesting video on that machine!
Cracking machine & cracking operator. :-)
Laziness is NOT the mother of invention. Necessity is the mother of invention. Laziness is the father.
They are not driving those posts in Georgia red clay. Here you just do not drive wooden posts. Try it and you splinter them. You can drive T posts using a Bobcat or some other type of loader bucket, but the wooden posts go into drilled holes with Sakrete as filler. That's an interesting brace technique which we also don't use here.
sho how does he get vertically straight posts without a level?
is the machine able to square it as it drives it?
He's eyesighting and there's a bubble on the driver.
Great episode guys thanks for all the tips, tax deduction trip eh guys
Cheers from Aus
Wow, this clip popped up on my opening of youtube, never heard of it before, first vid ever to watch. But immediately subed and am looking forward to going back and catching up on videos. Fun to watch, but have to say Peter had such a smile go lucky attitude toward everything, he was the best first contractor for me . :) Thanks great vid.
Peter's amazing!
What I'd like to see is a puller that pulls the fence so many ft lbs to get it tight
A good dang day.😊
in 1960 my boss made a post pounder from a heavy metal round chunk of metal mounted on the front of a JD-A 3-point tractor. it used a cable to lift the metal weight. he made it to put the post into the ground at an angle. He should have patented it. I was only 15 living on that ranch and we put miles of post in. then yrs later a hyd unit came out that mounted on the back of a tractor, and it pulled out post too. Dude, were you wearing pink tennis shoes?
He was ahead of his time!
Orange. Orange tennis shoes. I like bright shoes. 😆
Wow
Wonder how much I can get for a trade in on my spade, shovel and hand rammer?
They're bound to take off a few quid. 🤣
Oh My another Kiwi Gadget. Maybe you should visit New Zealand to who makes these Kiwi Designed toys.??
It's on our list!
wow
How does it work on steep hillsides?
Works well as far as we've heard. 👍🏻
Oh you forgot to tell us how he gets the fence posts in a straight line. I mean is laser involved?
No, no laser. Eyesight.
Many years ago in a job interview I said laziness was the mother of invention- I didn’t get the job.
