How to dig in a strainer and fit strut by hand FV

[@roadwarrior8560]

All very easy on clay ground, try it on a slope and stony rocky ground.

[@Grimsreap]

Thats a job for a pickaxe or breaker bar

[@samking6627]

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!

[@fraforgt-350r2]

Remember to treat those cut areas with some good end grain wood preservative

[@2nostromo]

really? it is all tanalized ... isn't that going to do the job? Just learning here.

[@watchthe1369]

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.

Be there a lot longer than you old son. Pressure treated tanilized post. 20+ years.

[@JM-nd4kt]

@@donaldtriumph1682 7 years max in wet clay

[@maccaspope2275]

@@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.

[@harleystreetadvancedsurger5003]

I would have left out the cleat in the main upright post as a cut below ground level will result in early rot.

[@erdemir5641]

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

[@chatteyj]

Couldn't you just leave the post against the strut rather than cutting it off??

[@sambenham8546]

What hand mortice chisel are you using there to dig out the hole for the strut?

[@phillippatterson297]

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

[@2nostromo]

Swinging as in pivoted into place once the post is set? makes sense

[@Ful-OGold]

Fuck that just get a post rammer or if you have to dig use a auger, even a petrol auger isn’t to expensive.

[@gonefishingisbad4758]

Not that hard to hand do tho 😂 if ur doing alot then sure,

[@jonnburton]

@@gonefishingisbad4758 Only if you've got nice, deep easy soil i.e. perfect conditions.

[@MrPopo-nn7kp]

Hand augers are garbage in anything but perfect soil.

Damn you can’t do that here in California, so much rock and sand stone

[@waddell849]

Ok if you’re given the time to do that

[@alanwarner4041]

That's a baby strainer.

[@justinpihama3405]

Stuff that buddy

[@fredla7353]

Don't bother to exhibit HOW to measure the damned tensioning post out to where you are to dig its hole!! PFFT USELESS!

[@2nostromo]
