The Youkon earned its towing stripes today. Would have been so nervous if it had an electronic brake controller. I have one that I need to install. Theres 75 posts 4-5" x 10ft and 7 posts 6-7" x 9ft. All southern yellow pine and treated for ground contact. Idk what the bundle weighed. The trailer took it like a champ. Oh and there a post pounder in fron of them, maybe 4-500 lbs.

New pup Randy?
My wife has it better than shes knows. Btw, that's horse fence for the record. I rest my case.
Here's the garden. I told my wife to keep it simple this year so we have 33 pumpkin plants.I guess we're having a pumpkin stand this year.

Here's the post pounder. It uses the hydraulic ram to lift the ballast and has a pin that ratchets then a roller wheel that rides a ramp guide that pulls the pin and drops the weight. I have two remotes on my tractor that run my bucket so I'll have to come up with a simple valve to run the ram and I'll disconnect the bucket curl remotes when I need to run this.
Unfortunately I just found out it's only going to raise high enough for a 8 ft post.
My line post are 10 ft.

Depends on the horses. Warmbloods that are trained to jump probably see 4ft as a dare.
This is a 9ft post. The weight raises about 1 more ft than pictured... 9 ft will fit under it. Not without modification of something.

The other option is to break out Thor's hammer and pond them in the first 2 ft. I think its 12 lbs.

Sounds sketchy, I like it. Probably not practical though when I have almost 70 post to pound for this one pasture and have 3 more pasture in the future. I'll likely make a 2ft extension for my 3pt arms.Need some ramps to drive up on.
