Anyone know what's more fun than pounding T-posts into ground the consistency of concrete in 96° weather? Let me tell you! It's trying to pull T-posts OUT of ground the consistency of concrete in 96° weather! My hands (& back) are paying for it today... So I sit here typing (and even that hurts) while eating watermelon. At least that last part feels (& tastes) pretty good.

I had taken out and thawed/seasoned a nice T bone steak for dinner yesterday but by the time I got done working and animal chores, it was already after 9pm, dark, and I was too sore and tired to want to deal with grilling (or eating) it. So I showered, dozed in my recliner for a bit and went to bed. I have to admit, I DID sleep last night I cooked the steak for lunch today ~ an hour or so ago.

Really need to get back to work outside, but if I do today it will be hours from now when the sun has dropped and it's cooled down some.

Our first summer in TN we fenced 10 acres in the heat of summer! I lost 20 pounds!!!
And if you water the area where you want your post and let it sit a bit, it is MUCH easier to pound posts in.

Does anyone have a kubota tractor they can tell me how they like it?

I loved ours... I think it was a '74.

Did have to be plugged in when it got real cold... but all diesels do.

2 people in a few hours - one to hold the post upright, the other on the tractor putting the bucket flat on top of the post then pushing them in. Takes only seconds.

Hmmm, you mean that is easier than banging on them with a post pounder? Probably doesn't shove them through rock any easier though but sure could help with gravel and stones that the post can displace.

I've got so many dang rocks here that when I put the fence in I tested the position of the T posts with a 3.5' length of rebar. If I could get it in 2' without hitting a rock, I was probably OK. Most of the time. Not always
