FARMER P TO THE RESCUE WITH HIS POST RAMMER

[@samuelrobinson9012]

You can just tell... Farmer P is one of life's genuine people. Fair play

[@LordClunk]

Farmer P and Funky Farmer should do a monthly podcast.

[@rochelleahf]

That’s a great idea!

[@hollandduck79]

Hello from the Netherlands . the Convoy song is from the movie : Convoy from 1978 (a year before my birth haha) with the lead trucker "The Rubberduck" . Ian (farmer P) is a good friend to have and one with a good heart (as in being generous and good to others) in the right place . thanks for the video Richard . Sincerely, Hollandduck

[@philipcounsell3533]

Brilliant video Richard, it's great to have such a great friend in Ian . When you have friend like him nothing is to much trouble. 👍👍

[@andrewgeach5585]

You can always tell a true friend.. Your. Both cool to watch and have a laugh with.. Makes days better.. Keep it up

[@mattwilkinson8502]

Was 85 degrees in northeast Nebraska today. That’s is very warm this time of year. Tomorrow is supposed to be in the 80s again and high winds

[@stevepalmer8285]

Good morning Richard. Good on farmer p for helping you do the fence post's 👍. Take care

[@peterstevens127]

A big Big thank you for farmer p for help the mad funky farmer

[@KiwiJim13]

Great video Richard It was very good of Squire Ian Pullen to drive in the post for you

[@neiljamieson3298]

What a nice friend u have in farmer p .A good guy

[@andrewdalziel4006]

Great video Richard. It is always good when you two get together.

[@michaelstaunton1632]

Funky Farmer & Farmer P …… Post to Post ……Hammertime 👌👌

[@jix177]

Fair play Ian. Good to have great friends and neighbours, and what goes around comes around.

[@thefunkyfarmer]

Very true

[@2bigted]

Good evening Richard Long time listener first time commenter great job on post driving

[@-prior7388]

Liked watching every min off it.

[@haroldjones4309]

I work on my own all the time, I lay all the posts out first then move along the line could not knock the posts in without using the clamp, I modified my post knocker put the spool valve close to the mast so don't have to have someone on the tractor, not nice getting splashed in the face with creosote you need gloves and a full face mask, your very lucky to have a friend that will come and help, enjoyed your video

[@ronniecumming7685]

Richard great video. Ian is a top bloke. I am sure you would be first in the que to help him out if needed, farming community can't beat it.

[@roba4297]

Proper job. Great to see you two having a giggle.

[@johnspall6039]

How nice it is to see friends helping each other out, brilliant.

[@davidscarrett3804]

Great to have Farmer P as a friend. That ground looked very hard it would have caused you an injury if you did that by hand. Great vlog.

[@philyew3617]

Great video Richard and a great mate in Ian. From all the fans, Thanks Ian. I agree the presure treated timber with the green stuff are nowhere near as good as proper creosote treated, they just don't last like creosote. This is just me thinking outside the box (or should that be slurry lagoon). Is there no way you could have a small tank filled with creosote somewhere and just buy standard posts and dip them? Maybe an old IBC with a series of holes cut in the top so the posts would stand vertical? Something like that wouldn't be a hazard for cattle trying to drink from it. Leave them soaking for a while then just up-end them so the full length would be done. If it was possible it could let you build up a small reserve stock for not too much effort. It's just a thought. Ooo... A haunch of Venison sounds like a great make it meat video😋.

[@welshhomestead]

So good seeing this from your perspective. Just watched this project on Ian's channel. Nice work both of you - hope you're doing ok and yes I remember Hinge and Bracket LOL

[@wendyrowland7787]

Good plan to run a string along to get a straight fence and a spacer string with a small weight on the distal end to space the posts out as you go.

[@peewee.3138]

That’s what friends are for!

[@lindaarmstrongjackman9788]

👍👍😁. Love the banter between you and farmer P. We have blackthorn here that keeps creeping out from the fence. They are a nuisance and those thorns leave a nasty hole in an arm. No wonder Buddy likes Ian. He had a heated spot for him in the cab of the tractor 😁👍

[@kenthammarstrom8255]

good job guys⭐️ if a guy have mates like Mr P and Mr C he will never be totaly lost.

[@pierceol966]

Cracking job lads👍

[@mikevowles5802]

Talk to Ian about the podcast he is thinking of doing you to would be great just shooting the Breeze it should be the both of you doing it together like Batman and Robin. ( up to you to decide who is who 😂😂😂)

[@markphillips6998]

I vote the first one is done in full costume 🤷‍♂️

[@trevorsidley7697]

Watching this whilst Network Rail are piling the embankment 1/2 mile away - Now that's the way to bash stuff into the ground. Lucky to live in Kent where there's loads of Sweet Chestnut. I have untreated posts still good after 25 years old and now cost less than £2 each. Nice Teamwork from the pair of you. Crack On!

[@diggerboyce1013]

[@brianlever3767]

Love the banter great guys you too

[@paulweston2326]

To just put the odd stake in why not use loader on your tractor? Use the bucket with a bit of soil in for added weight and with double acting rams you will get them in a lot easier than using sledgehammer

[@glennlingard7851]

It doesn’t work like that unfortunately, you can see in his video how much it takes to knock posts in against the hedge, hard and dry ground.

[@paulweston2326]

Well it works on our hard and stoney ground, as I said for the odd stake use the loader, not for a full fence run, we use our old 50B, either front bucket or back actor, hell of a lot easier than using a sledgehammer

[@glennlingard7851]

@@paulweston2326 true about the odd stake, we normally make a hole with our gablic first, then use the teleporter to knock it in, one thing though, use a rod or something to keep it straight unlike Richard using his hand, bloody dangerous really as you maybe seen one stake break in half.

[@lockman1951]

Great result!!! Saved days of sweat and tears!!!👍👍👍

[@MrBusdriver63]

18 c here in Victoria,Australia. Severe flooding around Rochester Charlton Echuca, Shepparton and surrounding areas, we have had 17mm in the last week all of Eastern Australia is experiencing a La Nina event for the 3rd year in a row and the La Nina is expected to last until Feb 2023. All along the eastern side of Australia will be having higher than normal rainfall until Jan 2023.

[@johnoverend1169]

Richard have you thought of putting a electric fence along the boundary, I have a gorse hedge along my boundary with my neighbour I put a two wire fence with warratah standards keeps my young stock in where they should be.

[@susancollado5290]

💕With friend’s like Farmer P you can’t go wrong💕He’s saved you having a sledgehammer heart attack💕

[@deborahjones1374]

Briliant vid just goes to show how good friends help each other when needed, you are both good country men

[@willpp9999]

Ian is a great friend to you Richard , always good to have, we all need great friends at times of need ! We couldnt do without our post knocker , l think if l had to knock posts in our ground using a hammer it would kill me now , plus take far to much time ! Thought when l saw the chinook helicopters you had called in the army to give you a hand with your fencing lol !

Great video 2 very good mates helping each other out its how farmer's should work especially with how expensive things are getting..

[@lynneshaw9209]

Well done to both of you

Perhaps we should rename you two ‘The F Team’. Funky Funny Fencers Well done to you both. Not sure you would ever have got those posts in by hand Rich.

Great job guys in sunny and windy here in tipperary ireland

[@richardbaker22]

Great video Richard

[@matthewfrancis8825]

You shouldn't have mentioned hinge and bracket lol had a good old chuckle when you said that because I can just imagine what you pair of buggers was talking about also do you remember Les Dawson when he and Roy Kinnear did the Sissy and Aida sketches. I watch your vlogs as much as Farmer P's and love them both. Hope your are all well keep up the great vlogs.Matt.

[@elizabethmaybrown6715]

Farmer P saved your day, I agree with the podcast idea, I listen to Just another trucking podcast with 2 of the trucking vloggers I follow and they are hilarious, hope it stays dry to finish your fence line off

[@williamhawks2372]

Good job you tow did and I used one post Pounder on the Roads wind we put new Guard Raul up in the black top and it’s very heard to take us longEr to get the work done

[@reeceduggan6749]

always nice to see u and farmer p together crack on lads

[@byamrcn]

Thank you Farmer P, enjoyed seeing the rammer in action. So will there be some work on the hedge itself at some point to get growth going in the gaps?

[@elleeshialeaver9375]

Hi gents it's nice to see best friends helping each other out well done to both of you and a very good video and stay safe

[@antonyfarming]

Thanks farmer p for help 👍👍

[@mrvanahead]

Most creosoot stakes that break around here either get a horse (horsefarm here) or a machine bashing it. But they did get more expensive lately..

[@paulnewman2115]

Hell of a crop of fence posts 😁👍

Farmer P to the rescue . You be on all day doing that yourself and a man in your health

[@Steven_Healy]

you should buy standard stakes and paint burnt oil onto them.They last longer and save money

[@claetuswoodroofe1854]

Just to tell you burnt oil has no ability to preserve wood unless it’s used to dilute creosote

[@prjndigo]

I'm betting P would be happy to know that there's a simple bracket that'll mount that P220 on his Doosan. Also a front-loader bracket design as well.

[@chriseccles1454]

Does the creasote not burn the younger inqiuzitive cattle or do they quickly learn not to. Remember Biscuit is a she and chief supervisor.

[@DavidJohnson-rj8zu]

Fencing has always been a costly business I remember as a youngster going with my dad to help carry home some wood from the timber merchants and a tin can of creosote and after the new fence had been erected a large amount of it was recycled old wood from the previous fence that had been re-creosoted.

[@kenbailey9453]

Well done Farmer P. So much easier with 2 people.

[@exileinderby51]

You've got a good mate there Richard but I'm sure you know that. Do you think an old style cutter bar hedge cutter was better for the hedges.

Ian saved you a lot of shoulder and back ache with his rammer. so will you keep the barbed wire up high so the deer can go under the wire........ you dont want the deer to get caught up in the wire or else they will rip the fence down again. whats your opinion on deer and T.B........... we find here that when the deer population increses we go down with T.B........ i think you said you got a bit of trouble with T.B again

Where's your strainers Richard??...can't put up wire without strainer posts. Need 2 at each end,stayed tight and then a few in between...sorry but it's the basics of any fence....£9 posts just won't do it on their own. Strainers in first,stay them, then pull some wire in a straight line,which gives you your height for in between posts. Get your hands on some imported larch posts which won't need any stinking preservative on them. I'll stop ranting now!! Crack on🤔🙉😬
