You've never seen farm fencing like this! Day 1 Farm Fencing Project!

What happens here

After successfully pre-drilling a pilot hole, the post driver attachment is re-positioned over the hole. The machine then pounds the galvanized steel post firmly into the ground. This process is repeated for various posts along the fence line, including a critical 4-inch corner post, which will be braced and used for hanging a gate. The presenter explains that brace posts are essential for fence stability and must be placed precisely where needed, even if it requires additional drilling through rock.

Goal: Securely install all necessary fence posts, including corner braces.
