What's the best way to put the Telegraph posts in the ground

[bobh]

Use the back dipper on the jcb to force them In,with points cut in them ,better than any post knocker

 

You must have used some fairly rubbish post drivers then

Only used one and was very old on a 3 point linkage , guess the new one es are good just thought if he has a jcb use it as it pushes any size of post into the ground without issue

I had an old one when I first started fencing did the job but a lot of aches and body stress. The modern machines will shatter posts or break through concrete if equipt with the right gear. Everything is hydraulic adjustment in all directions even part way through knocking in. I rarely put a point on any post if it hasn't already got one.

I have seen some impressive straight lines push in with 360s. Obviously not just an average operator and banks man in these cases I reckon.

Mine is 400Kg was in a domestic garden on Tuesday banging 3 inch posts in 2 feet in under 20 seconds. Quite enough for me at the moment:biggrin:

Fat end first, I would say.

I have a electric fence running around my chicken run Jon and have not had any problems with Mr fox.

Depends, If digging in yes. But if driving them in, if the fat end is alot fatter it can leave a slack gap all round the full depth of the post. Which can wobble around, whereas narrow end in first. Tight taper fit if hammering in.
