I have 130 t-posts in my yard waiting to be installed on our new land. How do you feel about a trip to California?

 

[Alibo]

Wowee! Do ya'll have a hydraulic post setter or a tractor setup or are you doing that by hand?

We have a pneumatic t-post pounder but it needs to go back to the manufacturer for a tune-up so we will be doing a lot of it by hand. I will be hiring some "young blood" to do most of the posts but the ones in the stream bed area will need to wait for the pneumatic tool. Any wooden posts will have the holes dug by my Bobcat. Fortunately most of the land is fairly level, a first for me.

Lucky! We have to use the two person hand held augur (if I spelled that right) and a sledge hammer to drive the 9ft posts till they hit clay which is usually till they are 4 ft above the ground. By the time we finished these first posts both of us were numb in the arms . Monday I couldn't even lift my bag off the hook in my locker because my arms still felt weak luckily my friend helped me out (while making fun of me of course ) lol
