[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 446203, member: 3162"] I am going to go out and get some pics some time soon. There aint no "between the rocks" where my house is. Acres of solid limestone, in multiple layers. Some layers nearly 20 inches thick. It is fenced. It wasn't easy. The thing is, if you get a post down in it, it is like setting it in a 100 ton slab. You try to drive a T-post and it bounces the driver. I have seen T-Posts bounce out of the ground. Down on the river property where my cows are, it is loamy sand. I have to put the T-Posts in atleast 2 and a half feet deep. Fence posts and braces are atleast 4 feet deep. Two extremes. There is no way a T post can support a 10 ton tractor, 8 ton backhoe, or 9 ton track loader. I have never lifted the front end of any of them while pushing in a T post in the loam. I wouldn't try it here at the house because I would simply toast it. [/QUOTE]
