How to dig in a strainer and fit strut by hand FV 

Nice one - but it if the post is too old or a bit rotten, don't attach your tow line from the tractor too high up on the post. It might multiply into two posts!

All very easy on clay ground, try it on a slope and stony rocky ground.

Remember to treat those cut areas with some good end grain wood preservative

I would have left out the cleat in the main upright post as a cut below ground level will result in early rot.

Never used those, they rot quick with all that buried open grain. Made an 'H' frame and cross braced with wire. 2 posts sunk 3 foot give a solid anchor to work from.

Fuck that just get a post rammer or if you have to dig use a auger, even a petrol auger isn’t to expensive.

Why would put a breast plate in and a stay the foot at the bottom will stop any lifting or twisting action also use a swinging foot as they are far easier to place in and requires far less digging

Damn you can’t do that here in California, so much rock and sand stone

Ok if you’re given the time to do that

That's a baby strainer.

What hand mortice chisel are you using there to dig out the hole for the strut?

Stuff that buddy

Quite a stud on the mell.

Great video!

Don't bother to exhibit HOW to measure the damned tensioning post out to where you are to dig its hole!! PFFT USELESS!
