Great to see a practical demonstration of the Gallagher setup, I've not been able to convince anyone to try those posts here yet but will show your video to prospective clients as I can see the benefits of more permanent flexible posts.
The clips are the best part no more broken pins like you get with normal insulators.
At the end where you're pushing on the fence, it's extremely hard to see, you'd want to run a sighting wire also.
That strainer tip, installed so close to the post, makes the strainer single use. Installed in that manner, they pull wire in from both ends. Once the strainer runs into the post and wire can no longer enter on that side, wire can no longer eenter on the other side either.
yes that was the first thing i noticed too! If I was doing it that way, I'd probably run the ratchet strainer a bit further down the line at least.
Thanks for the wire strainer tip. That’s genius. Cheers mate 👍
Another interesting one mate good job 👍
Love it, I wish I had that type of soil.
Sand.
Great video as always Tim keep them coming!! Have you heard about the timeless fence post they seem quite similar to these!!
I replied to another viewer earlier about them. Haven’t used them myself but used pvc posts about 20 years back
Great tips as always Tim, I would set the ratchet strainer a bit further out to avoid the problem of it bottoming out on the end assembly. 👍
In this case mate the strainer was offset into the corner.
Good morning, Tim, excellent demo. Really interesting product. I have fairly loose soil but rocky. I wonder how the posts would go in that terrain. And you were using plain wire over the ribbon/cable of the normal electric fence. Is that recommended? And would plain wire be preferred due to the permanency of the fence. Thanks again.
Hi mate. Yeah wire conducts electricity better and lasts longer. Braid is best for temporary or movable wires such as strip grazing. Cheap braid should be avoided for everything.
We use them in our very stony ground, I have a piece of an old pry bar the right diameter that I will drive in as a pilot in really bad places.
Thanks Tim,
Do you think it would work with Gallaghers 5mm turbo braid?
Yes, and turbo is definitely the best braid. But I would recommend wire for permanent setups.
@@FarmLearningTim thanks - yeah can’t Believe how low a resistance that braid is.
Hey Tim, have you ever played with KiwiTech fencing before?
Hi Jo. No I haven’t.
Hi Tim can you tell me where can I buy the 12.5 high tensile fence wire here in Brisbane.
Any rural store should have it mate. Ag warehouse, CRT, Nutrien etc
thanks@@FarmLearningTim
how would they compare to timeless?
Timeless are not (to my knowledge) available in Australia, but look similar to a PVC post I used 20 years ago. The flexible line posts are composite, with hardened top for driving and larger waffle spear for driving, making them you’re than a pvc only post and very secure in the ground. Hope that helps
So did`ya make it home?
Eventually
Another great idea should've kept your old hat.
Hey Tim Watch all your videos!! Your soils are very dark brown. What is the average organic matter? Way darker than the soils in America
Hi Russ. Lovely to hear from you. Aussie soils are not all dark. This particular video was made in the thin band of high rainfall at the very bottom of Western Australia where the weather often comes directly from the Antarctic. Many colours and varieties of soils in Australia. Lots of well oxidised red soil and sand as you go inland. Bleached clays elsewhere right through to rich Basalt soils. I’ve had the great pleasure to see lots of variety on my travels of recent. Our soils are some of the most ancient in the world owing to geological stability. This also explains why some nutrients are so lacking in many. The indigenous flora and fungi are really well adapted to their growing environment as a result. I’d love to see US soils one day too. Cheers mate.
