Anyone using these. I was thinking of ordering a pallet load instead of using fiberglass. Based on the literature seems like they may have many advantages - what is the opinion on them?
I like them very well I have put in over 2 pallets of them the last few years as for lasting they are great I have seen some that have been in for well over 8 yrshayray":3uq68k0a said:Anyone using these.

You must have better rock free ground than us :cry2:jhambley":3c5s7i8i said:Here's a link to their price list.

At first I used a rock buster spear to create a pilot hole as Cowman suggested but I got even smarter. I had the local fabricator build a jig ($15) that allows me to load the post in the the jig, place it on the ground, push on a plate welded to the top of the jig with my front end loader. Not only does it save time, the post goes in super tight, and every one is driven to the perfect height automatically. Let me know if you want me to take some photos to better explain.

That would be great if you could show some pics. How many wires are you guys using on them, what is the spacing, and how deep are you putting them, also what size post are you using? Thanks,jhambley":1jx1ymsf said:Here's a link to their price list.

I understand completelyRed Bull Breeder":3fo1pprv said:Where you guys are in the gravel ridges i got creek rock bottoms here in the valley.
The gravel is only a couple of inches thick on top of the solid limestoen cap rock. Extends down into the bottoms too. There are a copule of spots that I can get down a good solid 18 inches, but there aren't many of those. There are a number of places that the hole is dug as deep as possible then a post is set with a 12 inch high concrete footing above the ground.Red Bull Breeder":3mibvcwx said:Where you guys are in the gravel ridges i got creek rock bottoms here in the valley.
