Don't you have a tractor with a FEL. They push t-posts in real well.
I have a bobcat (skid steer) that I could have easily used. But in all honesty, I need the workout. Per Doc, > I < should aim to work out to the point of breathing heavy but still able to carry on a conversation at least 3 times a day. This is pretty easy to do around the farm. If I get off my machines and do some manual labor instead.

Plus the bobcat requires gasoline. So I'm just doing my part on supply and demand. But it doesn't seem to have much effect on the price at the pump. 🙄

Who would have guessed barb wire would be hard to find around here? Two rural kings out of stock, but tractor supply had enough in stock to complete my pasture. Plus was $9.00 cheaper per roll. I have to wonder about stuff like this sometimes. More expensive / out of stock, less expensive / in stock and for exactly the same product 🤔

This stuff looks like it could tear me up without even trying. Gonna need to be very careful with this stuff and try and not get bit. Says for cows and bison. We buy bison meat every once in a while, it's a tasty change.

I just saved time, $$ and gasoline by not having to take farm truck to Menards in town and buy a 12 foot 4x4.

I forgot I had a old telephone pole. So I just cut off 12 foot 6 inches and made a 4x4 on the saw mill (a real 4x4). But of course I loaded the sawmill by hand to get some Doc recommended heavy breathing exercise in. It turns out after I cut off all the years of nasty, the telephone pole was pressure treated after all.

So win, win, win, win, win 😊 No money, time or gasoline wasted, got my needed 4x4-12 pressure treated and got some exercise. What's not to be happy about? 👍
