It’s just the laneway gravel under neat that makes it seem that way Tom, our hedge rows would be fairly dry but our fields are anything but unfortunately. Cheers mate 👍
Good fencing is vital on any farm, it’s money well spent for peace of mind. Agree totally on rolling silage ground, stopped doing it 25 years ago. We don’t roll any ground anymore, unless it’s a reseed
Nice video Adrian, I’ve heard people say that like you do with topping, they will run the mower behind the cows then will also run the tine Harrow across the field as well to spread the cow slurry more so it doesn’t sour patches of grass and spreads it about
The concrete stakes don't end up that expensive, you will use atleast 1/3 less compared with timber stakes, make your own castings for the concrete stakes when the weather is bad and you can't do anything else. Work it out over 20/30 years, the amount of times you have to put in the effort of taking the staples off the wire in those 20/30 years with timber stakes, only once with concrete. Great videos Adrian.
Best investment I made from a farm sale was a post knocker . My dad chased me up the wall about it at the time 😂. But a very good investment a few years later nothing more enjoyable than a good fence put up . Another cracking video Adrian 😃
Great video! You guy have such an amazing looking property. Where I farm, it’s becoming less and less where people put their lactating cattle out on pasture, so it’s neat to see you and pasture/graze your cattle and how you manage that to best benefit the cattle and the land! -Alex
100% agree on not rolling silage. It lies the grass over and doesn’t stand properly after and come mowing time the mowers won’t mow it clean. But on rolling grazing ground my grandfather had a good theory, not only do you save on the cost of rolling but a poached surface has an increased surface area which will grow more grass than a flat surface. He was a wise man but I prefer the neat and tidy way myself.
Blame the EU regulations on permitted fence post preservatives. We are in our late 70s and no longer run our own stock, but the never ending task of replacing posts as recent as 4 years goes on. My husband treated himself to a state of the art post basher to ease keeping the fences good. The old saying, good fences make good neighbours is so true.

Blame, yeah you could "blame" EU regulations alright. COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT REPORT: CREOSOTE March 2019 4 / 23 1. Background The Belgian Biocides Competent Authority (BE CA) has as concerned Member State (cMS) received two mutual recognition applications of PT8 Biocidal Product Families (wood preservatives) containing creosote as the active substance. Creosote has a harmonised classification as carcinogen in category 1B in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/20081 and contains constituents that have been considered as persistent, bio-accumulative and toxic in accordance with the criteria set out in Annex XIII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/20062,3 . Therefore creosote fulfils the exclusion criteria according to Art. 5.1(a) and (e) of the Biocidal Products Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 (BPR)4 and consequently, in line with Art. 10.1(a) of the BPR, should be regarded as a candidate for substitution.
@ interesting. So when we acquired some old telegraph poles as old as the 1950s. The pressure treatment has made them good for a good many years yet, now repurposed as gate posts and strainers.

@@wendyrowland7787 Sure I well remember putting in creosote impregnated posts that have lasted decades and painting creosote on stuff but cancer's cancer and I ain't going out like that. It's lung cancer I've set my heart on and it'll be that or nothing.
Adrain to help u with them post what we do is we go around to all the fields with the quad and when we see a bad post we put blue paint on it to tell us that it needs a new post just something the we do that might help anything to make the job easier👍👍👍
may have mentioned before ,when we buy our poles, we season them in an airy shed for about two months , then we soak them in a bath of used oil thinned with some diesel, then put them on rack with a tray to collect the dripping oil, get a good 12 to 15 years outta them
You’ve got some nice kit for doing things, the better equipped you are the more inclined you are to go do it. When we were young the boss man would always say ‘ what would you want that ould yoke for?’ so we never got anything like a stake driver , but we’re more than making up for that now! In the market for a mig welder and a plasma cutter is next!
I like to have good stuff, it wasn’t always like that though as I started with nearly nothing when my dad retired. All built up over the years from earning money on other off farm jobs. I would spend very little on myself when I was younger, every penny I had was saved to invest in the farm. That’s why I tent to look after my gear, i know the sacrifices I made to get them if that’s makes sense
Hi Adrian we got plastic posts not so long ago form a company from Clare they will never rot. They aren't very good for strainers but we put in concrete polls for strainers but it is a life time job.
Sir if you want a fence that will last a long time. You should look into Timeless fence. They are made of PVC plastic, and they have a twenty year warranty!
Hi Adrian,another great video, as for fencing post,find it better place load of fencing stakes(point down ) in a ibc tank,use when ever needed,filled with old oil and creosote,two and half foot deep,post stay longer,and ground bacteria around post in ground can’t survive.Tanalised timber has no arsenic agent in treatment that used to kill bacteria that helped wood last longer.
I do each year, I normally buy a few hundred white thorn wicks each year. Some of our hedge are so dry that they don’t tent to do well. Some places do well though and I would agree it’s a good thing to do.
a handy tip for the roller is to fill it with burned / used oil , wont rot from the inside out , fit a detachable drawbar to it then and a wee set of wheels for moving it on the road .
It’s would take a lot of run oil though, if you put a gallon of liquid paraffin in with the water it won’t rust. Also a bottle of Vodka stops it freezing. Antifreeze would rot it out 👍
Grate video as ever. So right about posts there should be a standard posts cost to much to be going rotten so quickly when you buy them they all mentain they are pressure treated but you would wonder to much to be made of us buying them. 👍
Funnily enough just been fencing myself today....I like you think the posts of the past 10 to 15 yrs have been utter rubbish... iv been Using creosoted 1s this time...hopefully see a longer life out of them....good video 👍
Lovely looking fencing there Adrian, I tried the Clipex 5 years ago. Bought several hundred of them since and I don't think I'll ever go back to timber. Would need a few heavy duty steel posts on turns but overall I find it cost neutral with creosote posts
We tried them, didn't last any longer than tanalised. Now using creosote posts again, they're treated really well and generally completely through the post!
Great video, my wife thinks your a bad influence on me as I ordered New Malone post driver last week she has also worked out the digger that arrived four months ago is not on hire but a permanent fixture👍
In NZ all the farmers use steel waratahs (not sure what they're called in the UK),but I know they last forever,I've taken down fence lines that are over 50 years old and they're are as strong as the day they were placed,we only use wooden or concrete posts for strainers.
What would the uk have to do with this channel You do realize that is a completely different country with a completely different people .......not to disparage them
Ever have a look at clipex fencing? Looks to be a good job and would be expensive day one but if its lasts as long as they say it does it would easily pay for itself, I have been trying to convince the father to try it out but he's stuck in his ways of the timber posts I suppose when it's me has to drive them it doesn't matter to him 😉
Wood fence post are so crap these days 😭 we done an experiment a few years ago we soaked some in waste oil and brought some what was already creosoted and put some standard ones in to see how long each ones would last 4 years and they're all rotten😭 It doesn't seem fair somehow we have to pay for the wrap for bales then pay to dispose of it an empire to buy it back as a fence post talk about take the piss🤬😬😬 Have a good week cheers 🐜 👍

Fencing is a waste of time the day it's put up it starts to get worse but with a thorn hedge it gets better every year proving you tend to it every year use your fence to protect the thorns then when the fence starts to break down the hedge is stock proof

To make your posts last longer save your waste oil in a large tank and soak the bottom of the post in it for a month only to the level they will be in the ground with about a inch above that the top will rot before the bottom that way done it for years got posts 15 years old still solid
A good tip in replacing steaks is to drive longer posts only a foot and if they break off just pare them off and drive them again. U get double life out each steak. Doesn't look as good but saves you money.
If you've got an old drinking trough, make it into a Creosote dip and dip your own posts. Tanalised timber is all shite, you might as well piss on the posts for the amount of good that stuff does.
At 11:14 that’s an awful danger imagine if that tractor ever rolled back you’d be crushed. I don’t get y the post drivers don’t have there spools or control panels inside of the Cab
I’d need a second person to operate it then, I would rather have no one in the cab when I’m behind as one lapse of there concentration would be fare more dangerous. The tractor at that time was on level ground with the handbrake engaged. Very safe even if it looks dangerous. Danger is all around you, awareness is the crucial thing. Thanks Tommy 👍
Did you have a mild winter or is -5⁰C usually the coldest it gets around your area? Around me plastic posts are very common, they are really easy to use, but also very easy to brake. A lot get broken by moose and cows during the year.
Our winters would be to cold at all, we get some frosts now and again of -1 to -5 but there rare enough. We are experiencing a colder spring that normal this year, very cold Northerly wind would be the biggest problem. We had 3 nights of frost too recently at -4 .
