Places where we couldn't get the post pounder into or there were so few it wasn't worth getting the machine mounted on a tractor and driving it to the spot. I would give them very explicit intructions about tamping in the first dirt intot he bottom of the hole very tightly. If it was at all loose, no matter how much you tamp it at the top of the hole, that just makes apivot point and if I lean on the post it would wobble. Which meant that within a few years it would come loose all togehter. Now a few years to the passing thru pickup labor may have seemed long enough, once you have been back thru the same fence and replace it all over a twenty year cycle, a few years comes rolling by much too soon. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chipping thru that albeit soft stone, did provide a wonderful outlet for my aggressive tendencies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
