[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 186313, member: 3162"] When I got on that loamy bottom land and pushed them in with a tractor bucket, I couldn't believe how easy life had become. It you slide a 4 foot long pipe over them and let it fall to the ground, they don't deflect from the bucket pressure. A 5 foot pipe would be ideal. Thread it over them such that the pipe rests on the spade. Once the spade enters the earth, the T post will slide on through. I have been thinking of cutting a piece of pipe to the finished length of exposed post I want. Next time I put them in with a tractor, that is my intention. I have driven the green ones through limestone by hand here at the house. The driver was just bouncing. I backed up the truck, dropped the tail gate to stand on and broke out the sledge. Some chipped on top because of their high temper. I put a capped pipe on them after that and chips were no longer a problem. It must be locale because the green ones seem to be the tough in these parts. [/QUOTE]
