You've never seen fencing like this! Tornado wire fence building competition!

What happens here

As an alternative to driving posts, an auger attachment is used to drill pilot holes for fence posts. A worker removes the post driver from the machine and attaches an auger, then proceeds to drill a hole in the ground. This method is often preferred in rocky or very hard soil conditions where driving posts might be difficult or cause damage.

Goal: Demonstrate an alternative method for preparing fence post holes.
