I did that today. 6400 John Deere with a full load of dirt in the bucket. I am using I think 2 3/8" oil field pipe going 4' in the ground. For a bigger job we hired a guy with a track loader last year. Very sturdy, as I ran into a corner post a few days ago and it didn't bend.


How long have you done this if I may ask? I've wondered about them rusting. Do you cap them at all? I have no idea how long it would take that 1/4" wall to rust, but with wood posts being close to double the price... Probably worth the work regardless. How do you hang the wire, weld on a bent nail? Hanging electric wire won't be that hard, 1/2" hot roll bent into a small "L" and welded on will hold those insulators for rods/step-ins.
