I appreciate you demonstrating the process that you used. I have been looking at doing this for corner posts with an H bar in between, then putting in tee posts in between. I was wondering if i could keep the posts straight by myself, using the level to keep them straight while the posts were being driven in the ground is fantastic. I'm also in East Texas. Thanks for the great video,
That poor little pancake compressor will be worn out if you have many posts to drive. How long does it take to drive a 6 1/2' T-post? I use a 2-stroke gas powered driver and it takes 1-5 minutes per post, depending on how hard or rocky the ground is.
What state do you live in? I was thinkin of purchasing one of those and the area I live in is fairly rocky. I was wondering how the unit would preform in my terrain...
Watching this gives me severe anxiety, because I am trying to get a picture of this for 200 posts. No thank you. The first thing to do is get a much quieter Gast industrial grade oiiless compressor. They purr like a kitten. Also if you are touching the string, or too far away, have that woman wack the bottom of the post into position with a 5 lb hammer. You will really hurt your back lifting 2 7/8 tubing and especially with additional weight of the tool. I have so much hard cliche and a lot of rock underneath the top soil in a lot of areas here.
Hi can you tell me if this is the color Clam Shell? It looks like it. We are considering getting this and was wondering how it's holding up since your installation? Trex is hoping we will upgrade to the more expensive Island Mist at over double the cost but say it's way more durable than clam shell. Please give me your honest opinion on how this has held up to scratches and weather since you installed it..thanks so much
Just now getting back to you. I really don’t know what color it is. It is what lowes in or area keeps in stock. As far as how it has held up it has been great. I think I seen one scratch and I bet it was my fault. I’m satisfied with it
My Trex bad experience, some of my Trex boards were delivered either broken, damaged or defected as seen in my video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V7IGdt4dHs4.html
Near the end of the video Butch stated, "It took me a little while." Yes, he's correct. This operation is a very slow process. Too bad that the manufacturer did not make a heavier post driver having a longer stroke. What you see here is not much more than a toy Mattel post driver. I have over 200 post to drive and with this contraption I'd be fired by my customer after I installed only 1 post. I'm not trying to be offensive. I'm just stating the facts. Thanks for a great video, Butch. God job!
Coulda sat back and had the daughter do it with a hand pounder while you sat back and drank beer. 🍺After she went to the house and got the case of beer 🍻 for you of course. 🤔
Hey Butch, I love my 40 volt Ryobi weed eater. Alot less upkeep!! Keep up the great videos. I'm planning on buying some land in the next few years and starting a homestead with some chickens, a few cows, maybe a pig or two and a few goats. That's the plan anyway. Have a good one Butch!
Seems to me that it would be faster to "drill" the boring for your fence post. Then, fill the boring with concrete once you've placed your fence post into the hole. Time is money.
Next time measure and mark your post to the dept you want it in the ground before you start..with a marker one can see with having to measure all the time.
Hello there, Just came across your channel, wow thats a lot of meat, lol and thats a big freezer. the freezer is full now. hoping to see you around and hope you have a great day.
Can you tell me what kind of soil you are driving that post into? Clay versus sand versus sandy loam? Also how long did it actually take to drive that post in the ground? Have you driven t-posts? If so how long do they take?
Butch I bought a 80 volt weedeater, chainsaw and blower 3 years ago love them. Bought a 80 volt lawnmower 2 years ago to mow around the house close. They are all Kobalt brand. Best thing I've done this gas now days messes up the carburetor.
THank you for this! I am a single woman and that is exactly what you opened with. You are mucho appreciated for making it simple to the point and straight to the point. Hooray and finally!!
i have used all sorts of air tools in my life and have never and never see any one ad oil to the hose before . im pretty sure thats why its called tool oil and not hose oil. but who knows maybe i have been doing it wrong my whole life????
I think that is an oilless compressor with no Oiler on the compressor. The Sears oilless compressor I have is from the 1980's and was marketed for painting, filling tires etc. Trim air nailers for paneling often have oil that is a different oil than air tools like air wrenches. The reason is the O-Rings are different materials on the airless compressor tools. An old friend said they all use the same oil then his oilless compressor tools O rings all went bad. A low cost 80 buck airless 0.5 SCFM compressor and paneling nailer I got a box store had a disclaimer that the warranty was void if the wrong oil was used, it came with its own bottle of oil. So the fill the hose method probably is rare but you could ruin another tool if it has O rings of the wrong material for the oil. The early 80's Sears 3/4 HP compressor here has a 919 . model number thus Ingersoll Rand as a maker. The motor inside is full 56 frame GE motor, probably why no issues. It is like 4.2 SCFM at 40psi and 3.2SCFM at 90psi. Right after I got the unit and an air tank to add as a buffer; the marketing chaps started the compressor on tank for smaller compressors.
