BUILDING A LIVESTOCK FENCE WITH A 13 TON DIGGER

Building a new livestock field fence around my apple trees. Using a 13 ton digger to push the posts into the ground and to tighten the wire.
Using quick hitch to remove old posts, hammering nails, pushing posts, tensioning field wire, finding a natural spring, eating a BBQ and a thank you to all who has helped me thus far, Cheers!
I want to build an off-grid homestead in Northern Ireland where I will grow and feed my family with chemical free and full of nutrients-packed food on a daily basis. I want to create a healthy lifestyle that my three kids will look back on fondly and to a place they will eventually call home.

Good video, making good progress.

[@bendavidmorgan1534]

Hi mate well done

[@LaidBackHomesteader]

Hey, and thanks. Still so much to do

[@evojigger]

Be handy if that spring ran year round, build a nice well there.

[@LaidBackHomesteader]

I'm going to monitor it this year and see how it runs. If it runs and stops just as long as it comes back I'll try to harness the water.

[@LaidBackHomesteader]

It would be hard to beat a wee spring on site 👍

[@LaidBackHomesteader]

Spring ran dry 😪 awe well. I'll have to do a bit more drainage work to dry that area up, soo wet!

[@evojigger]

@@LaidBackHomesteader That's a shame.

[@williammcgirr1628]

What about these concreted posts they are using in Australia on the "Tim Thompson " you tube channell dose anybody know anything about them. I'd imagine if you hammered them in with a tractor post knocker or a digger bucket, they would shatter ???.

[@LaidBackHomesteader]

Hi William. Im just after watching one of Tim's videos, its call - making tough concrete posts. These posts are guaranteed for 100 years. They must be good 😆. There's a company near Ballymena making ocoto concrete posts. I have two of them at my entrance, upside-down because they look nicer but if they were the right way round there's a place to screw a wacker plate into them to protect the concrete.

You know, usually when a european ends up on my feed and they're using tools or equipment, they're replete in hi-vis and safety gear. What gives, does Ireland still have its manhood or what?!

[@LaidBackHomesteader]

We're hard-core over here Matthew A few near misses at work will keep ya sharp!
