Nice one - but it if the post is too old or a bit rotten, don't attach your tow line from the tractor too high up on the post. It might multiply into two posts!
Never used those, they rot quick with all that buried open grain. Made an 'H' frame and cross braced with wire. 2 posts sunk 3 foot give a solid anchor to work from.
Why would put a breast plate in and a stay the foot at the bottom will stop any lifting or twisting action also use a swinging foot as they are far easier to place in and requires far less digging

All very easy on clay ground, try it on a slope and stony rocky ground.
Thats a job for a pickaxe or breaker bar

Be there a lot longer than you old son. Pressure treated tanilized post. 20+ years.
@@donaldtriumph1682 7 years max in wet clay
@@JM-nd4kt What a bunch of fucken nonsense. We've got some been in 40 years, even longer if you count the old untreated Totara ones.
Remember to treat those cut areas with some good end grain wood preservative
really? it is all tanalized ... isn't that going to do the job? Just learning here.
I would have left out the cleat in the main upright post as a cut below ground level will result in early rot.
It's not a cleat and that is the standard way of doing it. If it's far below ground level it wont rot anyway as there is no oxygen
Couldn't you just leave the post against the strut rather than cutting it off??

Swinging as in pivoted into place once the post is set? makes sense
What hand mortice chisel are you using there to dig out the hole for the strut?
Damn you can’t do that here in California, so much rock and sand stone
Fuck that just get a post rammer or if you have to dig use a auger, even a petrol auger isn’t to expensive.
Not that hard to hand do tho 😂 if ur doing alot then sure,
@@gonefishingisbad4758 Only if you've got nice, deep easy soil i.e. perfect conditions.
Ok if you’re given the time to do that
Great video!
Quite a stud on the mell.
West Fork Customs
That's a baby strainer.
Stuff that buddy
Don't bother to exhibit HOW to measure the damned tensioning post out to where you are to dig its hole!! PFFT USELESS!
how to do?
