Fence Building with Modern Machines!

What happens here

Begin by marking the precise fence line using string lines stretched between reference points. Once the line is established, position initial end and corner posts along this line. Use a high-power hydraulic post driver (such as the Protech model shown, often mounted on heavy equipment like a Bobcat skid steer or a tracked excavator) to forcefully drive the posts vertically into the ground. Ensure the posts are accurately aligned with the string line and driven to the correct depth for stability. The video illustrates the process of driving posts even through rocky ground, highlighting the capabilities of the specialized machinery.

Goal: Establish the fence boundary and set primary support posts
