What happens here

With the strainer board and chain securely attached, the skid steer slowly lowers its pallet forks, pulling the fence downward. The goal is to bring the bottom of the fence close to the ground, leaving only a 2-3 inch gap to prevent animals from getting underneath. Once the desired tension and height are achieved, post ties are wrapped around the fence wire and the post. The DeWalt drill with the specialized bit is used to twist these ties until the ends break off, forming a tight, secure connection. This process is repeated for multiple posts down the fence line, working from the most challenging spots first.

Goal: This step involves using the skid steer to pull down the fence wire to the desired height and then securing it to the posts using post ties and the specialized drill bit.

24 inches [Music] okay now you can see that enormous amount of tension has been solved now we've got to pull this and william's job is going to be to lean this towards the post we're going to touch the post and i'm going to put the post ties on real quick they're going to be 13 strands here so it'll be 13 post ties and we're going to do 13 on this one and we're going to go up three one two three post we'll put 13 all the way down and all the way down this direction right here and then we'll go ahead and attach all of our ties and we'll show you guys how we do the ties you'll see it here in a second but we'll show you in a little bit safer area the actual technique okay whenever we're pulling downward we want to start at the bottom if we're pulling the fence upward in other words if this was laying down on the ground too tight we're going to start with the top so your best pull is from the bottom here that's what we're doing now this is a hazard to animals okay and we'll give you a little more detail in a second but we want this to be rotated around to the side here okay we don't want that thing sticking out there we go we didn't have the drill set quite right so we'll do the next one here we can continue going we're doing the same way every time okay pinch rotate around twist it off okay we'll get you a little close-up here in a second now we're getting up here and william's gonna have to lean against the strainer board i guess the net board in order to uh get this thing all the way up against this pipe it's important that we do not fudge this guys okay now you'll see when i twist these up in the future you'll see the ends break up if we can find the ends they're not dangerous or anything like that we'll drop them right in there but they'll just kind of go into the ground all right we're up here at the very last one wiggum is pushing woody woody is pushing i needed a sidekick man i've been needing a sidekick so we'll get this on here rotate it to the side squeeze that trigger and we're good to go now we're going to leave skitty bop on here skiddy bop skid steer we're going to leave him on here until we get three posts down the line tied on and three posts up the line here okay so what william's got to do here we're about this high off the ground he's gonna push it down to about that high two and a half inches three inches or so something like that we don't want baby cows to get up underneath it that's the idea right there okay all right now typically when…
