[QUOTE="TexasRancher, post: 1767074, member: 8359"] All this fancy expensive equipment just to push poles down into the ground....I'm sorry it's senseless and a waste of money. Then there's the maintenance upkeep on extra excess machinery sitting around depreciating on your farm. I can drill down with my hand auger 3 feet, probably could make 3 holes- 3 feet...before a tractor can get set up with auger attachment, filled up with gas and brought out on-site. There's dense treed places where I manually auger where a tractor cannot even get into. I'm calling these movable pole-pounding skid-steers as fancy useless expensive crapola ranchers just don't need. This kind of equipment purchasing will put your farm under and in the red. Sorry, not to be negative...but I come from a world where you work with your hands, arms and legs. So many times people think they can't do something without specialized equipment and it's not true. $15,000. broken pipe sewer quote....I did it by myself manually with a shovel in 8 hours and back-filled removing the stones with $14. worth of repair parts used in the hole.
