- I helped out Rachel & David on the Heartwood Farm property. They are in the process of fencing in 10 acres for the future planting of cider apples. We purchased this CountyLine post-hole digger to help with setting of 12' treated fence posts. The Kubota MX5400 handled the job, along with the Countyline digger.
If you have any questions be sure to leave them below. Thanks for watching!
Its fun to look back and remember how hard those first few poles holes were!
For sure! Learned a lot…
Nice, always enjoy your vids, relaxing and enjoyable. Question: Trailer for your tractor, 18' deck or 21' deck? Wife and I may have a need to get a trailer for our tractor. Spring of 23 I'll be putting up a semi-permanent fence around our 8 apple trees.... they've out grown their individual cages. I'll need less than 300 fence posts for that.... lol. Looking forward to seeing this project progress. As always thanks for your time and vids.
Hi Jules, glad you enjoyed the video! My trailer is actually 22’, I debated between this one or go a bit larger to a 24’. I wanted to be able to haul my rotary cutter with my tractor. I think I’ll have enough room as I see others doing it. I haven’t tried yet, I do have another smaller trailer for the cutter if need be.
The posts are 12’, set at 4’…if you get treated posts (which I’m sure you are looking to get), let them dry a bit before setting, we noticed a couple of ours dried a bit crooked when set. I think if we allowed them to dry in the stack a bit longer we wouldn’t have had the issue. It’s really no big issue, unless you are a bit OCD like me ;-)
Thanks for supporting the channel! Best, Ed
@@UpNorthNybergs thanks for the drying tip on the posts. Same tractor thoughts here, haul tractor, rotoary cutter with loader all attached. Thanks.
Go for the 83"x24' 14k trailer. You'll have plenty of room...for the time being.
