    Greg and Katie, You'll hate me for pointing this out, but have you tried using the weight of the tractor to drive the post with the bucket. I've driven railway lines using a backhoe, very successfully. Regards Robin....

    @phillipkeeling7327 2 месяца назад +5

    A little late maybe but a suggestion. I used my end loader to drive t posts for my pasture. Beats the crap out of the old pipe driver and sledge hammer. C clamp a piece of 2x6 to the bottom of the bucket. One person hold the post level, the other very gently push the post in with the loader. It takes a deft touch, you have to make adjustments to the bucket as it lowers to keep it flat, but I’ve done hundreds that way.

  • @reggiedaniels6920
    @reggiedaniels6920 2 месяца назад +1

    Hey Katie, what you are missing is that you can't expect anything made of wood to be pounded on like that and not have them compress during the pounding. You only need to trim off the tops when you're finished and no one will ever know that they had been smashed with a sledge hammer. Even metal posts will deform if smacked on with a sledge hammer. So you've save tons of money and ended up with a great product and project.

    I'm with you Katie, those posts won't last long. I'm happy to see you are using some metal posts. I guess they will keep the fence up for a few years. Pray for at least 5 before you will need to replace. I'm very happy you are being a responsible dog owner and building a fence. Hopefully they haven't been ruined already with the tracking instinct and dig holes to get out...good luck keeping them in the yard...
