Stretch yer wire tighter, and it'll hold them posts up. :lol2: Do you have bedrock of any kind under the sand? I figured there'd be ancient coral down there somewhere that'd be a bear to get through.

There's actually a little truth in that first 2 sentence. With a good hightensil fixed knot wire. It's hard to describe the difference until you've seen 2000' stand itself up with just a little bit of help.

Not 2,000', but you get the general idea.
 
FFS, in watching your gut stretch video (Tips and Tricks Episode 2: Woven Wire Fence Gut Strain) I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that gets a comealong or stretcher handle hung in my shirt when I start working the handle.... :lol: :lol:

For the record, I said a vibratory driver on a mast would be the dogs bollicks for pipe and t posts. That garbage on a loader just looks like a pain in the azz. And, yes, my driver is badazz.....and it works on pipe. Lol

In all honesty you right. I remembered that conversation wrong.. I dam near bought one until I watched their videos.
The guy was having to keep the skidsteer skidding to stay plum. No way with a tractor.
I still still think you dropped that big azz weight on your head sometime in the last couple weeks. ;-)

You keep using that pipe you'll be able to work when the grounds hard. :lol2:

This looks like the cats meow for pipe. Think they make a self propelled version

I agree. Something like that on a stable base would be the bees meow for an all pipe/t post outfit. That trailer rig just looks like it wants to roll off a hill or get stuck in the woods. :lol: On a mast like that makes way more sense to me than free handing it with a loader.
