Those are the longest T posts I've ever seen! Is he raising giraffes or drilling Wells?

Tyler, need one that high to keep the deer out. See a lot of nurseries in this area with tall fencing. He definitely needs a taller ladder, a lot less expensive than a trip to the ER. With my luck that ladder would tip over and I would bust my arse.

We rented one to put in 1000 feet of t posts. Got tired of lifting it so we hooked a chain to ti and lifted it with a loader. Worked great in our hard rocky ground.

Makes sense. A neighbor here took regular t posts and put field wire about half way up then a 6 ft piece of pvc pipe on that and tied field wire to it. Seemed to work but I believe it would be cheaper and easier to shoot the deer or buy the veggies |

A great big loader with down pressure is much easier

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.

Backhoe works just fine. Last time I did fencing we had a long stretch. The other guy did the tee posts with his foot. A flash flood came thru and took out the fence in the river bottom. I had to did the holes and plant the corner and brace posts. It was probably close to 1000 feet. We stretched the barbed wire with the WD45 I think it was three strand. we used the woven wire stretcher and did all three wires at the same time.

Paul, it would seem so but also growing up back east with that moisture/water table, I would agree until living here in N. TX.
I have to add water 3-4 times over an hour or so before I can even think of driving a tee post here, usually anytime from June through to September most years. If we get decent rains it still takes days of rain off and on before you can get em' in and big ranchers I know just rent a trailer mounted pressure washer when doing fence replacement of a mile or more when we have had no rains and they have to get it done.Blast em' in by starting the hole as even a pick axe will not get the ground broken and a FEL will just bend the post. Even a FEL mounted auger will sit there and bounce and we used a 10' cheater with a fella hangin off the back of my 3-pt. auger to get holes done for 2-7/8 oilfield tubing we cemented in around my shop, 5-10 days after good rains. As for the auto-drivers, I have not seen that type, just the air driven units that are small and light but you need to drag air along. If I had to do a good stretch of tee posts, the air driven would be it for me.

I'm gonna put in another 1/2 mile of woven/barb wire next summer. I believe I'll just use my old post driver. I bought a post driver at a sale once, had a big spring inside, supposed to take the jar outta driving T posts. About the 3rd post I tried to drive, the piece of junk went into the iron pile. Darn spring absorbed all the down pressure of the driver. Live and learn.

This is great with the spade attachment, no more shallow graves for those pesky hikers to stumble upon.
