    Cows have a way of changing your day’s plans, don’t they? Haha! As you start down the rabbit hole of old farm equipment, you’ll start running into more and more square head nuts and bolts. They’re still readily available and you may want to consider investing in an eight-point socket set for them. Enjoyed watching your fix and your cow update!

    Hey Tyler I was noticing all of your old wood fences. We used to take any old wood stain we could find and mix it with linseed oil and used motor oil and then brush it on those older wood fences and they seemed to last a lot longer. Of course in California I wouldn't tell very many people that I was using used motor oil to do that. It will keep that wood from rotting, especially down next to the ground.

    Old timers here said that the moon phase had a lot to do with the dirt out of the hole. They said if you dig a hole in the dark of the moon, it won’t have enough dirt to fill back up. If the hole is dug in the light of the moon, you will have extra dirt. Ole hillbilly wivestales maybe but we still go by some of them

  • @Ham68229
    @Ham68229 4 роки тому +1

    Go to farm sales, get yourself those "coral panels", not cattle panels. Start a small stockpile of those. Those work great to fix such a small fencing area. I've had to do this so many times before and you discovered why I absolutely hate wooden fencing for cattle. Either go with barb wire, cattle panels, corral panels or pipe fencing.
    While digging your holes, let the auger go in so far, shut the pto off, raise, turn the pto on, this also cleans off the auger and piles the dirt around the hole, this method clears the hole much easier and faster. I've never had the issue of not having enough dirt, quite the opposite really. Now, cap your posts or paint them or tar them, otherwise, rain will just soak straight down and cause rot and they'll rot faster than you think they will, including pressure treated posts.
    Find yourself some 12 point sockets, those will fit over a square headed bolt.
    Good repair regardless. Cheers :)
