working on building a new paddock for the cattle.
Fence is only 2.5 mile long. We cut the posts here on the property.
Gidgee is a very hard timber and will make the fence last about 80 years on average.

Tractor is a Fordson Major that keeps snapping the cam-shaft ( has snapped 3 so far )

Glad you guys like the video ( first vid with new gopro ).

We would cut the posts first thing, sight the line & mark every post hole, dig and stand the posts then strain up and tie off. Build any gateways into the fence and hang rails under the fence in any floodways.

With this steady pace we could average 0.5 km / day. ( 0.3 mile )

So does your auger have to turn backwards because your on the bottom side of the world? Don't think I've ever seen a posthole auger that turns that way.

Prolines like used in the video are older diggers. Probably came out in the 60's or 70's ran anti-clockwise. I know of at least another couple of local manufacturers that made anti clockwise post hole diggers. The company is still going today, they made/make a lot of stuff for power pole erecting http://www.premierproline.com.au/

These days it seems a lot of people run hydraulic drive units, so does not matter what auger you have, but the standard is clockwise.
