[QUOTE="ToddFarmsInc, post: 546176, member: 8301"] I forgot to mention also to stretch the barbed wire after unrolling it before attaching it to the posts. We generally stretch the wire untill it breaks at the loader bucket. Then we know it's got 90 % of all the "stretch" pulled out of the wire, and it won't get loose nearly so quickly. ya, we are very fortunate that there is actually quite a few hedge trees growing on my farm. (large ones too) We've been planting corner posts that measure about 15 inches diameter, and line posts that average at least 8 inches diameter. They staple really well the first year or so after they've been cut, then they start getting hard. All the posts that I pull up, I cut in half, and burn as heating fuel in my shop stove. As I do with all the leftover hedge trees that we harvest posts out of. These trees do get hard as rock when they sit outside a few years. They don't last forever, but they do nicely in the ground 50-100 years or so. :kid: [/QUOTE]
