That was a good how too
How to ride a cow! KID!
Not really. It's built incorrect. Wire is backwards.
that wire was installed backwards, that front post needs to be braced from the corner, so it wont want to pull away from the horizontal brace.
Huh? I thought the corner post gets tighten by the top corner, to balance out the tension??
Never mind, I checked my brace post 😅 and now that I looked at it. It does make sense, keeping the bracing post ain't gonna pull away from the post
Obviously backwards.
9:01 As jmmtcidc said below, the guy wire should go to from the bottom of the corner or the end post to the top of the adjacent post. I built fences for 35 years including many miles of farm fence. The guy wire at 3:19 is installed correctly.
I agree, he has it backwards.
Josh love what you're doing here on you tube and even more the obvious fact that you're already out there helping your local neighbors! We nwed much more of this in the world today! Blessings friend!
FYI FOLKS....IF YOU'RE CONSIDERING GETTING A TSHIRT NOW IS THE TIME....ONLY 1 DAY LEFT OF THE T-SHIRT SALES..SO IT'S TIME TO JUMP ON IT IF YOU WANT A SHIRT OR TWO.....THANKS FOR HELPING SUPPORT A VETERAN FARMER!!✌
Enjoyed the video, and meeting the young man you featured ! Thanks so much for sharing !
Your buddy does a good job on the corner bracing. We built a bit of barbed wire fence on a ranch and you want good solid corners to stand up to the tension. Good job on the teen age vlogger.
Good to see a young man doing good things.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Fencing how-to's are the one thing lacking from all the homestead channels. Appreciate the effort you're putting in this to break it down so it's easy to understand :)
Yessir!
That's going to be a great fence. It's great to see people out helping others. Hayden gives a good woooo!
Thanks Ron....always look forward to reading your comments
Thanks for sharing! I wish this was here to view 15 years ago when we did our fence. One thing I learned the hard way was the brace pins. Hot dipped galvanized brace pins will last way longer than rebar. It’s a pain to replace later when they rust through and the field is full of cattle. 👍🏻
Man...rebar rusting through...sounds crazy....different climates I guess
Wow man that's cool that young man has his own channel and encourages other kids to be productive and learn the sport of the outdoors. They are the future of our sport
Happy Easter buddy!! And all viewers too!!
that three pin support for the wire to protect the post is a brilliant idea thank you.
You are very welcome
Good pointers for bracing corners. Thanks!
Brian is so informational for a novice trying to fence her own 13 acres!
Thank you so much for making this video. This was exactly what I needed!
Great vid! Thanks and looking forward to next one!
Huntin fishin & lovin every day.
Y'all look like brothers
Awesome!!👍 Helpful info. THANKS FOR SHARING .😊
Glad to see somebody that knows how to build H braces properly...correct height, correct width and most importantly uses pins and ratchet strainers...oh, and does NOT use the totally ineffective crossed brace wires...and the folks that have been taught to use them will argue til the cows come home. I just ask them to check the brace wires after you're done and see if both of them are still tight - not possible....well, not possible if your fence is tight. I only use double H braces like in the video for long pulls, anything less than 75% of a roll I use single H and I've never had an issue. I did stop using the square drive ratchet strainers (that only turn from one side) and opted for the strainers that you use a specific tool made to adjust them - the tool contact is on both ends of the hub/spool so it puts even torque on the axle of the hub which keeps it from 1. breaking 2. trying to spin around as you tension the wire. I highly recommend a Pajik fence stretcher...no more bolting together 2x4's and wasting 8-10 feet of wire per pull, and they are quick - less than 2 minutes from attaching to pulling and only waste 1-2 feet of wire. Very informative video Josh. And your mini me friend knows his fencing. Good Job to the both of you.
Very informative. Good young man.
I need to put up fencing. This will be a great help. Thanks.
The brace is built incorrectly. In the configuration shown, the brace wire is pulling in the same direction as the fence wires. The brace wire should run from the bottom of the corner post to the top of the second post.
Is that right?
.@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Yeah. Unfortunately you have it backwards in the video. Oops/
it was doing my head in to
I noticed that too. Maybe y’all just got a little mixed up. :)
Te is backwards.
Good for Hayden!!
The top part of the brace I actually agreed with the rebar.
Happy Easter I braced myself b4 I watched this vlog Feel guilty sitten down to Easter ham dinner with that intro LOL
So, you do have a twin brother.
Wooooooooo...!
That rebar would be easier that the sawing and chiseling we did and barbed wire with a stick to tention the corners. Good stuff. Every build a rock jack? All the best!
Thanks guys, learnt some deadly tips
That rebar trick in super cool. I'll even check out Hayden.
You should look into the gripple brace system. Great price for what you get. I am really happy the way you can go back and tighten while wire still in place. I would share a pic of my braces for you just not sure how, so look into them they are great
Good to see a young man out doing things
I agree!
Great video man! God bless
Really enjoyed the education of these techniques obviously well-thought out. 👍🏽Putting up fencing is a lot of work, and you've got to ask yourself how many times you want to do it, how many patch jobs, and how much material do you want to have to buy?! I'd rather do it right for the long-haul, and not fuss so much.
Thanks Slyfysh
i use twist sticks for pulling the corners, ends. once done its done.
Ordered two $100 truck and one support vet farmers t shirt. Appreciate what you are trying to do with your channel.
Thanks Patron!
In Australia we call these braces stays and often the corner post of a stay is heavier and of a larger dimametre than all the other posts also we would generally use a native hard wood eucoliptus post for that corner about ten inch diametre
Cool...interesting information
eucalyptus
Great video, thanks for introducing me to Hayden. I subscribed to his channel also
Right on...he's a smart kid...hope he sticks with the youtube thing!
Hi..... Thank you 🎥👍👍👍
Happy Easter
If thats an outside corner then you ran your tension wire wrong way
Good kid.
Wish you would show us your version of concert set post. Drivers are expensive. Nice to see a Real Red Tractor
They got a dragon on that farm! 😆 🤣
Happy Easter.
If that's a corner, you put the wire opposite of how it should go. it should go low at the corner post and high on the line post. FYI
They make a special tool to use on the ratchet hooks on both side that way the ratchet doesn’t twist in your hand.😎
cool vid and Happy Easter to you and Mrs
Thanks David
My son fell in love with Kendall Gray who has a channel very popular good kid, great idea to promote that young man there is a huge need for our young people to develop a life other than looking at a screen, heck adults too
Any concerns with the tensioner with the sharp bits being on the inside of the fence with the animals? We have horses and are concerned about them scratching themselves if we use this method. Thx!
Great video…. Questions: are those brace posts set 4’ in the ground and if so is concrete needed to secure them? What is the diameter of the posts? Thank you.
Is he your mini me 😂🤣😂😂
(Mike) Happy Easter
Just noticed your from n.c I SUPPORT MY N.C CZcamsR👍👍😊
Thanks
You and your neighbor look like brothers!
lol...probably cousins from distant relatives lol
How far apart do you put your fence post? And how often to you do bracing in a long run?
Man Josh.....you guys could almost be brothers.So ....I will keep asking about your guitar set up.....You can do a vlog on that sometime.Anyway.....your neighbor and his son seems cool.Happy Easter and tell that kid......don't shoot the Easter Bunny.........118 here Josh.........Wooooo
I have no talent.
I am working toward a healthier lifestyle, and lost 27 lbs since September 2017 to Now. That's it. lol
I was hoping you'd show us the horse, awe.
You Go Hayden! You Can Do It!
Lore Lynn keep on going! Don’t ever give up!
Ben Aschenbrener Tyvm. I will not. I really appreciate the support.
Lore Lynn anytime :)
Good Video and I got Hayden clicked
do you put that diagonal wire at the nine minute mark backwards just for demonstration purposes? cuz its backasswards
I saw it was backwards and only watched to see why, but?
This is tje best
Hello from Taylorsville NC
Hey!
Nice👍
Am I missing something, or is the tensioned wire at 8:33 running the wrong direction? Shouldn't it be running from the top of the brace post back to the bottom of the corner post?
For that, I just use 2 eye bolts, a piece of all thread, and 2 long nuts. I put the all thread in the center, the long nuts on either side, and the eye bolts in the nuts. Hook the wire on the eye bolts and use a open end wrench to tighten the wire.
I am currently building a perimeter fence on a 1/2 acre lot with dimensions 127’ by 172’. I am using 8 foot by 6 in treated posts and set the corner posts about 24 inches in the ground. My plan is to build corner h brace fence and I am afraid I may have set the posts below the recommendation of 40 to 50% of the post for h brace. Looking back I should have at least set the posts 3.5 feet to 4 feet into the ground. Also, when I set my corner posts I set them in commercial grade concrete/cement at 24 in. My question is will this affect the way my h brace will hold up? My next step is to set the brace posts and cross bars but I am sort of at a standstill because the more I read into it it looks like I should have set them at 3.5 feet to 4 feet deep. Since it is such a short run I am thinking it might not impact it much. I plan on running 4 strands of 14.5-15 gauge barbless wire and I don’t plan on putting too much tension on it. I would like to get your thoughts on this. Thanks!
brace wire they showed at the end was backwords to
What size fence posts do you use?
Your Neighbor looks like you
I am 12 and I fix lawn mowers and mow lawns
I'm fourteen and I mod and offroad lawn and garden tractors. Check out atltf.com to check me and some friends out.
I've built a ton of fence and he is doing it perfect great job
Thanks
What gadgets wire is that it looks bigger than standard high tensile
Rebar should not be used with pressure treated wood. The moisture in the wood will rust then out. You should only use galvanized pins, just like framers need to use galvanized nails on the sill plate because it is treated wood.
That horse must be related to your rooster.
They look the same😲!!!!
Are you stringing a wire on-top of the page wire?
Why no staples and reinforcement on the top wire? Or did you just not show it?
Glad to see kids like that btw where did y'all get the hand held wire cutters with the yellow handle?
Here is a link to a similar one on Amazon: amzn.to/2H3IplV
Stoney Ridge Farmer thank you sir
You guys look like twins.
Nice video, i don't know how you can tell each othere apart.
we have matching beards eh? lol
Did you use the fence staples on the top of the corner post, the same as you did on the bottom of the post?
Yes I believe so Robb
Josh don't forget the dummy post to stretch the wire off of
Thanks...I may have to look that one up brotha
Stoney Ridge Farmer your welcome. Red brand wire has great videos too i think they might have some info on a dummy post. God bless brother.
Your tension wire is backwards. It's supposed to be at the bottom of the corner post.
Thanks for the input brotha...not my fencing job....but stay tuned on the channel...we'll start our fencing project very soon....show ya how to do it right!
I was concerned with the diagonal as well. The brace post is supposed to keep the corner from moving toward the tension of the line fence. So something has to pull the top of the brace toward the corner so the horizontal post keeps the corner up. I realize it’s not your fence.
With widely available Osage Orange (hedge) in the western Ozarks, that is what we used for all fencing except where it was too rocky to auger holes, and we drove metal through the sandstone then. Decent hedge posts can last 50 years. I’m replacing one stretch of a bit over 500 yards in a project now, and I think that fence is nearly 60 years old. It probably is about 20 past due to replace.
Our corner braces were a little bigger than line posts, maybe 5-6”, and corners were 8-10”, with a 3-4” horizontal between them. We set and tamped the corner, augered the hole for the brace, then assembled the brace without filling and tamping it. That way, we didn’t need the second rebar piece any longer than the first one, and we didn’t have to auger the hole clear through the brace. Hedge was very hard to drill through with a brace and bit back before portable tools. We placed the horizontal about halfway up and ran 9 ga tension wire loops both directions. We didn’t have those ratchet tensioners, so just took a short stick and twisted the wire loop until the brace was a rigid unit. Then we filled and tamped the brace post.
I feel that you hooked up the wire backwards
Do the fence posts need cemented in the ground?
no....typically posts are driven and no concrete is needed. Dig and tamp/concrete or drive and no concrete. Honestly digging and putting concrete in a post hole is a pretty antiquated way of building ag fencing....check out some of our other fence vids....I've go a playlist with about 100 videos
🤘🤘🤘👍
I’m 13 and I drive hunt and fish
Sweet!
Okay, not trying to be critical here, but... isn’t that brace wire installed incorrectly @ 8:26 ? It’s just opposite of how you described the way it should be. The way he did it the tension is going the wrong way! Or am I drunk? Lol, he explained it all at 2:48
Holy twins Batman
Hey Josh, great video! Can you post a link to the crimp Ferrules and size of wire?
use strainrite crimp sleeves.... best source for wire and crimps farmfencesolutions.com
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer you are the man! Keep doing what you are doing great content!
Apart from the height you both look like twin with you beards and sunnies. Definitely could pass as brothers
Enjoyed the video. Fence bracing is a subject of interest to me. Thanks for sharing.
Hope you subscribed...we're about to build around 5 miles of fence here on the farm!! OMG!!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I have been subscribed for a couple of month. Enjoy the videos.
Does a high tensile fence need to be in a straight line? My property lines look like a snake.
michael flores each change of direction needs a Brace to keep your fence tight
I noticed in the video after show the bigger picture they had to brace wire the wrong way
U guys look exactly the same
😉
hey josh, got a question for ya. i was looking at the new john deere gators and was wondering do you think they fixed any of the issues that yours had? i was looking at the xuv 835r and with all the issues you did have, would you still recommend john deere? the website of the dealer near me also says that the 835r is manufactured in the USA too. i just want your input on the gator, i rewatched all you reviews you had but just wanna make sure. also all i need a machine for is a medium sized property, and for plowing snow and gravel when we have to work on the driveway and also fun riding, but not on trails, just on our property.
Haven't looked at the new ones yet...but the answer is YES! I would buy a gator again...would I buy the first year of the new style.....no sir! There are alot of my style gators out there with very low hours used...if I had to do it again I'd get the bench seat or 4 seater version...that's my 2 cents
Stoney Ridge Farmer ok. I dont need 2 rows of seats for me but thanks for all the help.
Yessir....so my little input on the 4 seats is ....you'll have folks over and want to show them the place...and not have anywhere to put them....I'll have to do a video about the gator back seat I fashioned!
Stoney Ridge Farmer does yours have the bed that can have the sides removed for flatbed mode?
How old were you when you 'Harvested" your first deer, I heard you
