[QUOTE="hurleyjd, post: 444142, member: 4674"] Six foot deep holes, what do you dig them with? The handles on a manual post hole diggger will not close and pickup dirt at that depth, unless the hole is very large in dia. Most tractor powered diggers reach about four feet. Any longer and you could not clear the ground with the digger attached to the tractor. The four foot augar just barely misses now. Now if a person had one of the digger trucks the power line personnel use to dig holes or an auguar mounted skid loader then I could understand it. I use 2 7/8 oilfield pipe in a nine inch hole four foot deep with about three sacks of sackcrete. The sackcrete is mixed in a wheel borrow and poured in the holes. I use three post in line each direction. I have two cross braces welded in place from 2 7/8 pipe. One at the top of the post which are about 54 inches tall and then one about 12 inches from the ground. I weld the heavy duty bull panels to the post and the cross braces. I do not pull from the corner but from the last post.I will put another set of line post about 300 foot from the first. It will be the same as the corners except two post. The reason for the line braces are. If the fence gets broken for some reason the you ony have 300 feet to undo and re-strecth and repair. [/QUOTE]
