Ingenious, brilliant machine . Hats off to the gentleman. I agree , the chain is his straight vertical. Astounding . 👍🇬🇧 When I think of the hours , days , in all weather's with a post rammer , rolls of wire , pouch of staples , and a claw hammer and bar . Sigh .
Chain moves too much to use for plumb line. He uses the barbed strands to get the post kinda straight, but he's not trying to be perfect. The chain is simply a general depth gauge for the post. This outfit is for crude function to hold livestock. He's not concerned with aesthetic appeal.
@@otis6791 aesthetic appeal is for gardens and pedants , I once had a job putting four and a half miles of fence around a golf course , you could see the greenkeeper with his bubble every so often in the distance . Nightmare job that was . Strange how it went over estimate .
He ain't building a piano folks. Its gonna be buried in snow drifts and the cattle are gonna scratch their asses on it. Looks good enough, only 6 miles to go. This man is a legend!
i guess Im randomly asking but does any of you know of a way to log back into an instagram account? I somehow lost my account password. I would love any tips you can offer me!
If hes doing it professionally though he should run a tight guide string line from brace ends and pound them in. Not saying it doesn't work or wont. I wouldn't be snaggle toothing those posts in like that for a customer.
Not just the fact that it tensions the wire as it goes, but the fact that the free hanging chain tells the depth/height of the post. The simple things are always the most genius.!
Great machine. I see the brakes on the rollers that tighten as you go. I would use longer posts just because cows will push on anything. But way faster than digging them all first!
Anyone who has actually put up a fence with multiple strand barbed wire knows that if you really hate someone, trick or lure them into laying or mending some fence line. It’s one of the hardest jobs on a ranch or farm there is. It sucks so bad it will make an honest man out of you by the time your done. What this man made here is an engineering marvel for everyone who knows the pain of laying some fence line.
BOSS MAN you had dentures!? LUXURY! Back in my day we started young. Before teeth even grew! And no dentures..... Put up a mile or so before school. Aye we dreamed of having dentures. ..
I was 12 and helped my friends family fence a 6 acre ranch. 5 strands of barb wire. Posts drilled and pounded by hand. Was the hardest work i have ever done. But i was a kid i didn't know i was slave labor i thought (at first) it was "fun." Hands raw, cut to hell, sunburned, dehydrated, This almost gave me PTSD. LOL
Someone's always got something to say negative but I think that's awesome. There's people that think "simple folks" ain't smart. Only if they knew the truth. They call "simple folks" every time something they have breaks down. Great machine and great job operating it 👏 👍 💪 🙌 👌
Works great in open country. Much of Dad's old place was wooded and brushy. You'd need a dozer to go along with this, and some of that hilly stuff would still be "hand" and "hike."
Brilliant machine. I'd really like to see you be able to get those controls out so you don't have to stand in that crush area between the posts and tractor.
Did commercial fence job in NE Sandhills, this would have been a godsend! Still would have to put deadmen (2' pieces of post buried sideways and 2-3' deep with wire running up to and wrapping all 4 wires) if you didn't you could tension at the H braces and pull 10-20 posts right out of the ground. Yes actually suspended on the wire...
With practice I bet a fella could really get good use out of this. Everybody that have negative opinions seem to think this machine is good from start to finish. I'm sure the ol'boy running it will even tell you it's not for every post nor for every application. But if you have long stretches needing fenced it sure would make the work go by faster.
Thank you, it seems like people expect something to be made for every situation at the same time and do well at it, also why has nobody heard of: “First version”, or “work in progress” or “prototype”?
Wow. This is amazing. Is that really how they do fence post when I was a kid it took a hell of a long time. With the cedar posts every hole I dug had to be 36 in deep packed the soil. I got a quarter hole. And I was happy. But really can somebody honestly tell me if a regular person can hire someone to do fences these days like that?
I could of used this back when i was younger & working on farms with alot of pasture ground. Had to dig post holes by hand, one strand of wire at a time that had to be stretched before stapling it to the post. Dangerous work. If that wire broke, it would'nt be one of your better days. And most times i was by myself. But it had to be done. This would of saved a lot of time.
Thats so cool, both of my grandfathers were country people, one had a 4000 acre cattle ranch, the other had a farm which grew crops like spuds, corn, etc. But fences back then, whew, one post at a time, the farmer or ranchers hired hands WERE the post hole digger, barb wire stringer do it all people. Fixing a fence, like a barb wire fence of my grandfathers who owned a farm, after a buffalo ran through it without even slowing down, is hard to do. These new machines are cool.
Like the guy that made rehabbing Volkswagens Beetles after retiring from the Army in Central Texas. He had a job that a lot of people did not want and seemed to find a good way to do it. Too bad he has passed.
I’d like a smaller version for metal t-posts that could fit around something besides an open field. That would make my dads life a ton easier and my life easier too lol
Just start building. Ive rebuild a honda tracked dumper with hydrostatic drive (the geared ones are crap), fitted a hydraulic Pump, Reservoir and valves aswell as a hydraulic arm to it. Now its a 300kg tracked beehive crane you can Drive around to load and unload the hives. No more heavy lifting (a full hive ist 90kg) and its light enough to get Transported with the hives on a Trailer. Towable with a standard car, No Truck ore SUV needed. Never have i ever Seen my dad so thankfull and proud! Save your Back. No Matter If its about fences ore Something Else. (Keep in mind hydraulics are kinda expensive, atleast for me because im a poor student) greetings from Germany!
The ingenious thing I find about this is the chain, at first I was wondering what it was for but then figured out it's his sprit level. Brilliant.
And depth gauge.
@@farmerbill6855 Thanks for that, again brilliant.
@@farmerbill6855 i thought that also but I'm not sure he was looking at it
@@oldfart5063 I reckon he’s done so many posts he could put them in plumb in his sleep 😀
It's for post pulling lol
I know this guy. He's passed now but he's alot of fun to hangout with.
RIP Tim you always was one "crazy" guy !!!
What part of the world is this ?
It is a great idea

Now I've seen everything, that is so awesome. No post hole diggers, no stringing each strand by hand.
A man who knows what he is doing. Great work.

Best fencer I've ever seen 10 out of 10 for you great machine
I needed this tool back when I put in 900 LF of field Fence. 18 years ago> Thanks for the Video.
Wish I had a machine like that growing up, fencing was hell when it comes to handmade.
Wow what a machine. And looks like it’s capable of going on some pretty rough terrain. The guys that invent this stuff amaze me.
Looks like a seriously custom rig. That's pretty awesome
Kinda reminds me of the ending of the film Jeremiah johnston..... "and some say hes up there still"...great vid ...man obviosly knows what hes doing
The thought and engineering that went into the creation of this machine is amazing. Then the actual building of it shows extraordinary craftsmanship.
Have never seen one of these before. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! That was pretty slick. I have made a lot of fence over the years and would loved to have had this system.
Great machine. I see the brakes on the rollers that tighten as you go. I would use longer posts just because cows will push on anything. But way faster than digging them all first!
I see the fencing experts have gathered in the comments section. Didn't know there are that many.
Some of them just learned
Lots of us out there, I don't install much farm fence though just clicked because that is one slick unit .

In my days back at the Acienda Ranch all by hand, starting in cutting the post from trees...Wow this is amazing....
. . .yes, and the blacksmith made the barbed wire . . .
I see you have a disk brake system to prevent the barb wire from getting loose, I love it.
Comment section: "back in my day, we had to dig the holes with our teeth"
BOSS MAN you had dentures!? LUXURY! Back in my day we started young. Before teeth even grew! And no dentures..... Put up a mile or so before school. Aye we dreamed of having dentures. ..
@@brettcrook9362 stop ffs
Great man. Congrats on the hard work.
Hell yeah getting it done 💪 pappy you should of see the crew on the neighbors fence a bunch slackers

I like the chain depth gage/plumb indicator.
Wow! I don't live on a farm but this makes me want to buy one of things anyway. Nice!
I wish we had one of those when I was growing up life would have been a lot easier
That's for sure, Hell I'd like to have one now
That is a very impressive rig.
This is where the saying says don't work hard work smart
Brilliant machine.
I'd really like to see you be able to get those controls out so you don't have to stand in that crush area between the posts and tractor.
Man wish I had one of those back in the day could have saved my hands some misery lol

Looks like you come up with that yourself bad ass man
Very clever
Where was this when I was a teenager digging holds all day long. I still remember the calluses and hands hurting.
Now, that is pretty damn cool!
This has to be the best deal since slice bread. I wish my dad had one of these when I was a boy.
Too late to have a happy childhood now
Was looking for the attachment on the back that spits out cows.
Pretty dang AWSOME !!
Man that's the coolest thing ever wished we had one of those.
iv gone mad about this guy and machine....rip....its brilliant
Freaking awesome machine....

Absolutely brilliant 😎
Very innovative, how good is this??..., well done sir.
Now this guy is a Pro! Impressive!
I wish I had one of those.... I love machines
Laser steering for a couple grand or even a simple guide wire that was preset to indicate off of. Great machine though, wow
Great concept but pretty temp type fence
But love what your doing I suppose it would obviously work with splits and star pickets to
that is a great set up
people laughing hell I like to rent that for a day
Beautiful 👍🏼machine
This is the BESTTTTT machine for fences ever.
Man, I sure like that.
Now that's just pretty slick.
Wowzers… I love that machine…. Very creative.... goooooot joooooob!!!!

And most times i was by myself. But it had to be done. This would of saved a lot of time.
an old boy would have told you to stand on the opposite side of the posts to the wire, when it goes twang, you are a lot safer
Great machine u made, it does look like someone fabricated this at home, Perfect
Yes we made it in our shop
Breaker style hitter, the wire tensioner is our own design
Bel Stone Fence You should make and sell them once you work out any kinks it has, it seems like a good machine.
Mass produce them! They will sell. I’ve been in fence industry for 26 years never seen anything so fast and quality
You obviously never seen our Mexicans in Texas.
Youve never seen a wheatheart high and heavy hitter on a skid steer?
Far out thats an awsome setup 😀👍
Now how cool is that!
Back in my day all we had was a bucket and a stick
And when the stick broke the bucket was useless.....lol
I remember when the stick was used to dig and the rock was used for nailing and use our teeth to cut and twist the wire lmao
Shucks, that makes T-post look hard.
yep ! use what cha got an make it work dam good ! i got a do it all my self, i was taught to work smarter 2 😎
Soo good, i love it from brazil goias state
Looks awesome, my only concern would.be the depth of the posts.?
Pretty cool!
THAT's the best HALF ASS fence I've seen !!!!! Wire is loose.........looks like a WINO with a Hangover built it !
Looks good..
Farmer brown has it easy these days
I sledged them in as a teenager

Esta buena la maquinita mi amigo.
Not bad Grandpa Joe!!!
Wow! Very innovative
Fantastic idea! Very efficient!
Awesome machine
Needs something to get the posts more plumb and straight though
The chain is a giant plumb bob
That’s genius 👏
We have rock..
This is nice rig .
Never seen that before... pretty nifty.
hard to argue with the boss
Like the guy that made rehabbing Volkswagens Beetles after retiring from the Army in Central Texas. He had a job that a lot of people did not want and seemed to find a good way to do it. Too bad he has passed.
Great video
now that productivity.
SO many questions.....How do you keep it straight? How do you keep the wire tight? to start
very cool rig.
Just wondering what would happen if you hit a big rock while putting the post
Greetings from the LooseNatural farm in Andalusia Spain
Pretty Awesome!
Fabulous piece of equipment
Top quality fence too lol
I need one of those machines ....lol
That looks much easier and efficient than how I did it when I was a kid!!!
How did you do it as a kid? Just curious what it’s like.
Awesome 👏👍👍🎸🇮🇳🇮🇳
