What happens here
Various teams demonstrate different hydraulic post drivers and techniques. This includes close-ups of a Protech Compact post driver in action, men using a 'Zero-Till' method (likely involving pre-drilling and soaking holes), and teams operating larger machinery like a JCB 210SU with an auger. The host comments on the noise and the challenging rocky ground, noting that driving posts can be the 'easiest part' once the ground is prepared.
Goal: Showcase diverse methods and machinery used for driving fence posts.
