Fencing on STEEP HILLS! Day 2 Farm Fencing Competition!!

What happens here

The host provides perspective on the challenging terrain, showing the steep hill where the fence building machines, called Protech Evo, will operate. These track machines, made in Great Britain, are designed to handle steep grades. The host highlights the difficulty due to recent rain, making the ground soft. He also points out a push bar on the front of the machine, designed to ground it on steep terrain and help with leveling or pushing dirt. Competitors will build fences down or up this hill, possibly having to go around a pond.

Goal: Familiarize with the challenging terrain and specialized fence building machinery.
