I could listen to George talk all day. A really good explainer, and always useful stuff to say.

[@daleberghorn6504]

That is a great job installing the fence do it right and will last long as usual love your videos and love the land and farm your family has😊

[@rabusen]

Their is great satisfaction building a fence and at the end of the day looking back to see what you have accomplished. Thanks for the memory..

[@BobLee-o6j]

It's always encouraging to me to see how well you keep up your property. And of course you don't want to be hunting up cattle miles away!

[@reginabraok939]

Looking forward to seeing your cattle out grazing the pastures. You have a beautiful farm and it is well maintained! 😊

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

You guys always seem to have it all planned out, which is a great way to do anything. That's a lot of work.

[@jpeel2066]

We live on the edge of the Yorkshire wolds in the UK. Your landscape is very similar to ours except we've got chalk underneath. Looks a lovely place to work. Thanks for the video. All the best 🇬🇧.

[@stanhensley3082]

Building fence is alot more "fun?" when it's nice and cool!! No fun when it's hot!! Spring is a good time of the year to make fence. Thanks 😅.

[@arthurok327]

Howdy, I hope ya'll are doing well, Fencing is not one of the favorite jobs on the Farm, but when we had to dig the fence posts holes by hand, I really like our fence pole digger better, we have the one your using, we also had one that had a lever on it, you would use it the way, but when you scooped the dirt out of the hole, you pulled the handle, and lifted the dirt out, kinda like a bucket on a track hoe, that made it more fun, before I was old enough to run our wheel loader/track hoe and dozer, and our other tractors, I had our fence pole digger, made me feel like I was running a track hoe, but than I was only 8/9 years old lol another great video, Thank you for sharing it, Stay safe, God Bless and Farm on my Friends

[@harveypenner2386]

Great Job!!

[@DonWelter]

You'll have a well-built fence when the posts are set and the barb strung!!! When I was managing a cow-calf farm we built a lot of fence...woven wire for the perimeter and barbed wire for the divider runs. Not an easy job, but prevented a lot of cattle and calf escapes.

[@tammygurke7482]

Great video Aaron and George…love learning from you 😊

[@patrickpigg4132]

Building fence builds character!!!

[@alfredomarotta6604]

[@br927]

I spent lots of time looking for heifers that got out one the backside of the farm, Found some over top the mountain in the next county!

[@JamesDedmon]

Back in the day, we had an old axel that we used to pack our fence posts in. In fact it still around here somewhere.

[@larryklostermann5779]

Nice video Aaron

[@RobinslawnFL]

I like your videos I worked on my grandads farm in the late 70s early 80s in finger lakes region of NY.

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Like how George said he probably wouldn't have to do this again in his lifetime. I'm with you on that. Pretty probable Aaron will have a go at it next.

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Crossbow and Remedy, sprayed every year or so, will keep the fences clean, and make for less repairs because of the woody growth. The next generation better be saving their $ to buy an Extreme Driver. No tamping, and some models vibrate the posts in. They stand like set in concrete. Great video! Y'all definitely have PHD's. Just no paperwork to show it. And not just Post Hole Diggers.

[@tomhill4765]

We had a tamper to packer the dirt in a post hole. It was a steel rod about 1.5 inches in diameter and about 6 foot long with a hockey puck style pad welded on the bottom. Worked great to pack the but also saved the ends of the shovel handle.

[@bodiehot]

we milked 120 reg. holsteins, sold them in 2005, row crop 3000 acres of corn, beans, and wheat. tore out a lot of fence. took some steel posts to the sale a couple of weeks ago and got 6.25 a post

[@MaT-1983]

Have you ever tried a post pounder for your skid steer. No need to drill just pound the post. Some will even pound a rail road tie.

[@stevewardlow7337]

See if you can find a used gas power ice auger. Works great for 8" fence posts. Definitely want 2 guys on it if you hit a rock.

[@crazyoldbat7600]

Common sense experience, no frills, no high end expensive equipment.

[@larrybarton2351]

People don’t realize how tight you can get a post simply by putting in a little dirt at the time and tamping it with shovel handle!!

[@michaelmiller5337]

Check out the Seymour S500 Industrial Perfection post hole diggers. Very close to what you have. Part# 21244

[@reginabraok939]

I would rather build a fence than be chasing cattle that are on the loose.

[@lawabidingrepublican.]

Looking at what you have installed and what you are doing. You don't have a clue on how to build a fence.

[@danny_t1536]

It looks good to me let’s see your fence if they have no idea what they’re doing

[@mikeburgan7675]

Great Job!
