Installing the bottom barb wire and pounding T-posts into frozen ground
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- We forgot to install barb wire along the bottom of the field fence we installed a couple weeks ago. So we install barb wire on the next two sections of fence and go back and install it on section we forgot. Then we pound in T-Posts and it isn't easy, because the ground is still frozen. All of this fencing is create a barnyard around our old bank barn we are fixing up. Soon we will be getting some livestock so we need to finish up this fencing.

Fence stretchers is what you're in need of. Also maybe fence pliers.

Don’t worry about if you’re doing the fencing “correct”. Everyone that has a non decorative fence has to rework/repair theirs regularly. You’re doing great, getting it done.
I've been a carpenter for over 50 years. if you hold your hammer at the end of the shaft with your thumb pointed along the shaft driving nails and staples, in fact using the hammer in general is just so much easier. it may take a while to get used to this but it's well worth it.

Hi..... Thank you for sharing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍
The small addition barn would be great for your goats !
Good job you two! Your wife is MOTIVATED!
Pick yourself up a wire stretcher at Tractor Supply. You will use many times. Looks good!
Great cleaning job on the barn look good. Enjoy watching your channel and wish I was 50 years younger and had the equipment that's out today to do the work. Thanks and good luck with your homestead.
Good job on the fencing. You guys work well together. Your wife is a real trooper to be out there helping
.
Thank you guys and RUclips for letting me see this video, I’ve learned so much. Great job I’m excited to see the finish touch on the homestead.
Good Wood there doing your fencing. I tip on T post you can measure them and then put a shot up spray paint on them so when you were driving you don't need to keep taking your driver off and once you find how far apart you want them you can use a rope was a piece of steel on the end and drag it and it's at the last post you know your good.
Happy Farming.
Good idea, thanks.
Tap the posts in with tractor bucket, they go in like butter.
Y'all did awesome job hope the best with the farm animals
great job, its looking great
What a great team. Nice job.
Good job!! You need fencing pliers too!!! I use two hammers to stretch barb wire. Long ago we got a barb wire handler someone had put together. It uses two plow discs as wheels with a steel rod as the axle. The axle has holes across the pipe to keep the discs upright. An old push mower handle is attached to the axle on both ends, and the roll of wire goes between the discs. Its easy to drag across rough ground and I just park it in the barn to store. Hope this makes sense!!!!! LOL
A tip after pulling the wire tight and nailing it to the post leave 10 inches of wire and split the 2 wires then wrap those wires around the post and twist them in opposite directions on the barb-wire.
Good work man. Videos are awesome.
Use your front loader with the forks to push your posts down when frozen
Good job guys ;)
Nice!
if you are planning on getting goats, I would strongly suggest you put on stran of electric fence on the inside of the field fence. Otherwise, the goats will climb on your fence and tear it down.
If installing bottom wire first, when stretching top strand it will loosen the bottom.
May I suggest a wire gripper or vise grip pliers instead of the 2 by 4s. It's a lot faster.
I feel your pain walking that barbed wire down the fenceline.
Thinking about putting barbed wire on bottom inside of fence to keep dog from digging under. Do you think this is a good or bad idea? Worried about dog getting cut, or do you think once they figure it out they will avoid the fence? Thanks
Thumbs up
Subbing. Get a wire gripper. Speeco at TSC.
I have one now, ended up buying one shortly after I filmed this.
Why would you put barb wire at the bottom? The goats will constantly lacerating their feet & legs
It is to keep coyotes and predators from digging under the fence.
But Brad, does it WORK? Sometimes a kid could get his head stuck under there, 😔
How much you think cost for feet!!! Or labor $$$
Thx
keep doing videos
pulled many amile of steel cable with one
Bottom wire first...
its melted down fords and chevys instead of virgin steel
klen tools bull dog grip
Barbwire sux no matter what in general LoL
