To add to a comment Andrew made below, The farm I had in the north of the Manawatu where Alistair grew up was all fenced with concrete posts when we bought it in 1974. This was steep hills. Strainers that were 8 feet long and 8 inches square, I worked out they weighed at least 200 kgs. The places they were put were nuts. Also intermediate posts 6 ft long and 4 inches square would have been 50kgs, about 4 meters apart. All done by hand digging holes and running 6 Number 8 wires and 2 barbed wires, and then stapling 5 wooden battens between the posts. We soon went away from this and used the early tanalised posts with 10x 12.5 gauge wires and no battens. Still a huge job, and I take my hat off to those fencers back in the day who did this work.. The farm was first fenced from the 1890s with timber cut off the farm and when they rotted away had to go concrete as nothing else available at the time. But I actually loved fencing, still do, as if you did a good yob you were always proud of the job you did.

Great job and well done and absolutely another spectacular beautiful shooting filming footage compilation documentary countryside content video .. thanks again and have a wonderful blessing weekend ..

Hi I like your video

My parents had a sheep station in outback Western Australia and dad wouldn’t entertain the thought of a jack hammer so we had the luxury of chipping post holes out of break away country with a crow bar….needless to say there were never any volunteers rushing to go fencing.

A bit different to how we fence the dairy farm on marine clay. We've got a Kinghitter sideshift and it is awesome. But very basic 2 wire electric fences and we use 2.7 mtr strainers so no need for stays. Love seeing real fencing though and I'm in awe of some of the old fencing I've seen on steep hill country.

Love a good fencing video

Alright Alistair when I have to dig posts in I find it helps to bar hole in the bottom of the dug hole and give the post a couple of taps with the mallet keeps it a bit firmer while filling and ramming around the post.

Looking good 👍

Nice bit of kit.

That's some hard country, thank God for post rammers
