Hi Adrian Hello from the Isle of Skye In my opinion you have fitted the insulators incorrectly,the wire should interlock not touching and you should not cut the tops of your posts as you reduce there life. I enjoy your channel and as a fencer I Icouldn’t resist commenting. Keep up the good work

[@mf-yz4qn]

Hi just a little ting on de egg insulators de wire cumn from de tie post goes on de further out hole and de wire for de fence goes in de hole near de tie stake to stop insulators splitting. Great job tho mint farm👌

[@Hassle68]

Those cows will be wiping their feet before walking back on that track, quality work.

[@conoroflynn1196]

Adrian i never buy a full bale when buying stakes. I Buy 20 at a time and never get the fatter stakes in the bundle, the smaller stakes are always better treated. You should try springs, I'll never use anything else again.

[@seanlenehan7574]

Great video again. Roll cow road with land roller. Keep it together.

[@Dave-jm5yo]

Great job. I certainly wudnt cut the tops off the posts. Just drive them to the correct height.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

I treat the tops when I cut them, been doing it for years, never had I post rot at the top, they always go at the ground level

[@ryan71954]

I always soak posts in old engine oil. The longer the better its Brilliant stuff. Same with machines like the topper or muckspreader, a cote of oil soaking in all winter does well.

[@cdemo1186]

Grand neat job as always Adrian 🖒

[@noahcameron947]

[@benmcloughlin9923]

With the small black insulators at your end posts I’d have always done them that your wire goes to the hole furthest from the side the wire goes out. Means if the insulator breaks (be it sunlight breakdown etc) your wire won’t be able to fall to the ground. It will ground through the post but it’ll still stay up.

[@patrickoregan6598]

I agree with you Ben. Adrian is using the egg insulators wrong way around

[@Luingcattle]

@@patrickoregan6598 Yes, putting them on wrong way around. This way the strain is being put on the thinner outside edge of the insulator instead of the main body.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

@@Luingcattle these insulators are the same thickness both sides 🤔, I’ll have to double check that but never had any of these type crack yet, some are in over 20 years

[@CB-xr1eg]

@@IFarmWeFarm Whenever videos of this type are posted, there's always going to be someone in the comments telling you, "you're doing it all wrong". Just ignore them and do what works best for you. I've been fishing for 50 years and caught plenty of fish but still, I get people telling me I'm not doing it correctly.😕 Each to their own as they say.

[@russelljohnson4847]

You should do what we do Adrian, drill a 2 inch hole in the middle on top of the post and then get a funnel and tip some creosote into the funnel and let it soak right down to the bottom of the post keep topping it up when needs be on every new post.👌

[@everythingagri8232]

Mighty video Adrian, when you want to build something for long term you want things done right or else they can be real pains like farmyard set ups, posts and cow paths, you really do think of everything

[@darraghlynch5452]

A tip to try is to leave the posts in old oil for a few weeks this can be messing but it works for us.

[@sandymcghee3328]

[@alicegamble6145]

As always great video.

[@mistypeppercorn914]

Another mighty video Adrian, If you hammer the staples in at a 45 degree angle, it wont split the post on ya and less likely to hop out because they have a better grip.

[@KennethMcCarthy35x]

We put in over 150 plastic posts on land we bought 31 years ago and 95% are still in perfect condition. Long term plastic posts are better value IMO.

Nice Video as always. Hello from California. Galway originally.

[@patrickrocks3312]

I like the way you keep the farm neat and tidy

[@niallhanley4198]

How are you it’s my 1st time commenting, love channel ha e been following from the start. Lovely family and very tidy farm. Just a question how many cows are you milking. I am originally from limerick now living in boston over 20 years. I grow up on a farm. Keep up the videos I watch all of them. Niall.

[@grantgriffithagri3077]

Since you put the lime on your land you can really see the nice green grass there adrian

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Yes I noticed that too, not really see the true affects of it for about 8-9 months

[@shaneprior]

Nice one Adrian, lovely tidy bit of work, keep at her lad!

[@jackmurphy8911]

Great video 😁 good idea about the posts👍

[@oconnors8818]

You should cut them at a slight angle to stop the water sitting on the of them

[@stephenwebster7960]

Really great video you do a good job stay safe 👍

[@FarmerBoBonYoutube]

I built a creosote plant years ago. The problem with the consistancy is caused by few factors.. first the dryness of the wood before creosoting. The wood should be dried propperly.. then placed in the creosote tank and first vacuumed to burst open the cells and then in the vacuum state boiling creosote pumped into the tank. If this procedure isnt followed. You get poles not penetrated propperly..

[@patrickcormack7637]

You should the road a roll with the land roller. It will make the great on top hard. Do you have a fence tester. Check the cornt on the fence. Get one with fault finder. It give you a good read cournt and if there a fault reading

[@samuelrobinson9012]

Iv one of those. Good job if I knew how to use it. It blinks and flashes different numbers, I be a little confused!!., but it must be working, nothing broke out in 2 years.

[@craigdoig9486]

Great video

[@KarenCashatt51]

Thank you for sharing part of your day with all of us. To see your lovely country side is such a treat. You have a blessed day.

[@davidrichardson7656]

Great video again Adrian, nice bit of fencing, it doesn’t matter how you do your fencing if it works for you it looks a great job . When I got a fencing job I put my posts in a barrel of sump oil and creosote , just the end that’s in the ground I find they last a long time ! Stay safe 👍

[@richDparke]

Another good video Adrian - they are always a good watch. Quick heads up in the creosote treatment - the difference in penetration is due to differences in sapwood (young) and heartwood (old) content. Easier to penetrate sapwood. Probably a big variation on the natural product (where it was grown etc).

[@mrvanahead]

Nice farm road! About those posts, my experience with treated posts, you mow/break em before they rot through. And we have been using them for over 25yrs (thats what I can remember :P ).

[@ollywareing9419]

Really nice to have a mid week vid 👌🏼

[@cianoriordan2592]

Them grippels are a super job

[@philipjmcloughlin2299]

Good video Adrian nice tidy job with the road and fence .

[@roberthutchings3686]

Anyone considering using road planeings for cow tracks should consider the small sharp chips within the mix. These play havoc ingressing into the soles of the hoof. Make sure tracks are covered with a thick blinding layer if road planeings come your way.

[@janbuikema8941]

good job!

[@jasondavies4887]

Plastic posts can be a nightmare to drive in on hard ground

[@IFarmWeFarm]

That’s it too, we have a lot of hard sanded ground

[@matthewdfk]

You will do well to get real creosote post in this country. Them post will be gone in a couple of years aswell. Neighbour put in for fence grant and got all creosote post and after 3 years half are broken and rotted. Best thing to do is buy the post and make a bath of burnt oil and old diesel as that will give you the best protection. Leave them soaking in the winter months

[@spideybrent]

Hello from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada. Thanks for sharing your great video’s please keep them coming.

[@jodylenihan8493]

Adrian great videos so neat and tidy . should consider wearing safety glasses when using that steel wire. Keep up the great work

[@seanmcdermott70]

Ya if that wire pops and twangs,it will take your eye out,with your back turned .stay safe👍🐄

[@hsagri69]

Tidy job. See alot of bad tracks in my work and it makes for along day trekking up n down. Some real handy fencing tips. So right about post treatment the dearer treated post probably work out cheaper in the long run and plastic just last forever. I do all my recording and editing on my phone (Samsung s10+) find it really good

[@roberthiggins6401]

Trees are fine as they're sustainable but I'd use chestnut every time.

[@ronandelahunty3811]

Leave the posts in a drum of burnt oil for about 2-3 weeks just as good

Bit of dark cloud coming over there.May here in England was cold and horrible.Unless you use recycled plastic,its made from petroleum so better to grow more trees and use wood.Unfortunately its complicated a lot of enviromental issues.Looks beautiful where you farm would you ever consider having a campsite now your famous?

[@turabhaider545]

Nice video

[@thatmrking]

The best posts for fencing are the ESB poles, you can buy the old poles for like 20 euros and youd get three to 4 stakes out of them. You cut them into the right length and cut off wedges at the end your going to drive down which makes it a really sturdy pole. We have also built a shed out of them using an auger to make holes and setting the poles in concrete

[@Thatracing_guy6290]

I agree with u about the poles we used them on about 100acers

[@donalfinn4205]

I don’t think the ESB will let anyone have any more poles for legal reasons now.

[@gjbingham1]

Tidy Job Adrian!

[@Sean-fb7cy]

Adrian. Mix the creosote with heavy waste engine oil

[@petersutton2268]

Adrian when you are finished lapping the wire just twist the vice grip and it will break off the tail. Will keep you or a cow from reefing herself

[@kieranhanley6735]

thanks adrian

[@thomasreilly6362]

Mahoods in Canningstown beside McCabes have very good posts. I've used them for a long time

[@lauramonahan9343]

Thank you for this. Had a driveway put in by our barn builder 3 years ago. He's a great carpenter, but not great with driveways. We will have to rebuild it again this summer. Very expensive mistake. Another super valuable vlog, thank you!

[@TheStevegrainger]

Plastic posts are a great idea. But how do you put staples in them bit hard I think? .Great videos 🚜 🐄 👍

[@cathalflannery6753]

Great video Adrian. the treated octagonal posts are probably the best on the market. They are pressure treated all the way through Definitely the best on the market. We have been using them for 30 years as fencing contractors. Nothing comes near them on the market

[@robertcarroll160]

We tried every wooden under the sun and all if them rot so we are using concrete posts that you drive in and stable to them too they are called Moore posts

[@claetuswoodroofe4164]

You should try a few octoposts

[@kevinlambe1068]

We use steel posts you should use them they last a lot longer than the wooden post we find

[@johnmatthews454]

Great job but I doubt those creo posts will last much longer than tantalise by the looks of the treatment 👍

[@bumpkinrocks]

I think that's down to your suppliers on the post treatment. Our posts are generally treated right through just that 1/4" in the middle doesn't soak it in.

[@Jp12987]

Great video again. You are always Improving your farm. Nice tidy job on roadway. Impossible to get posts to last we used to soak them in creosote and found it didnt make them last any longer.

[@ciaranconeely8579]

You should wrap the wire the other direction on the egg insulators. They will last longer.

[@Kale050]

our cowpaths are from concrate, cost a bit more but works so good for us

[@oconnellsfarm811]

tasty job i use clipex all the time fed up of rubbish timber stakes

[@mikeysky8917]

Problem with the posts these days, they are not dry enough before being treated. Years ago the posts would be dried in an oven plant and then set in the treatment tank so the liquid would soak in deep. The drier the posts the deeper they are penetrated. Now the posts are still damp internally or sap still exists preventing the posts from being fully treated. I know a man that leaves posts in a shed for a year before using and them, then treats them in an old bath.

[@brendangreenan1280]

Hi, great video. Did you ever consider Astro Turf for your cow passes? Impoves cow flow and comfort, along with reducing lameness.

[@evanjacob03]

The cracking is from the kiln drying process , that shouldn’t cause any problems but I wouldn’t be overly happy with the amount of creosote soaked into the strainer ones the ones we get are generally an inch soaked

[@penningtoncolin]

Good video Adrian,could you ask your digger man where he got his light bars and chrome bar from please after some for my digger I'm in UK,cheers Adrian 👍

[@jackmullin3161]

[@01ronnied]

Hi Adrian great job I use nothing else but the electric im all suck cows on a hill farm never gives any bother I use clipex have you ever thought of fitting solar pv for the farm through the tams or seai grant

[@agrisea.original]

Are juniper posts available there? Many ranches here use juniper posts because they last a very long time. Also plastic posts here are hollow and designed to be slid over a square wood post. Problem here with the plastic posts is if hit by anything in cold weather, they shatter.

[@bluethru808]

I feel your pain with the tanelised posts 3 years tops and they have rotted off at the ground and like you I’m finding the same irregularities with the creosote now too 🤦‍♂️ i was told it’s foreign timber fast grown so it’s loose grained and then they’re treating them (creosote and tanelised) while the timber is still green and full of sap, so it can’t take in the treatment. I even tried the octagon posts today as I’d heard they were good but I cut one for a brace earlier and it’s the same as what you have there pretty much (a couple of mm at best). If you find the answer then let me know, I’m still searching like yourself. Enjoying the vids 👍

[@PaddyGun]

You know how you have the red/yellow lids from the cow licks, every few years I get all my lids, use a big drill bit used for the air extraction in showers and rooms and drill circles out of the lids, then I put them on the top of the wooden posts using a roofing screw ( tex screw ) and plumbers paste to water seal the hole. And to make her edges look nice I use a heat gun to tighten up the plastic

[@kevingriffin5509]

Do they last any bit longer?

[@PaddyGun]

@@kevingriffin5509 yes they do, on wooden posts water can get in the top in the winter and freeze, cracking the top of the post eventually these cracks spread and make it weak and flimsy. If you have the drill bit and the plastic it’s 100% worth your time especially on posts that act as supports and strainers

[@IFarmWeFarm]

@@PaddyGun yes we do that too, great job for sure
