Chain link fence removal

[Big T]

Worked on removing a section of chain link fence today. We have had no rain and the clay soil is super hard. Fence poles were breaking off at the concrete. Down to a live oak which has grown into the fencing. That sump ain’t budging and I tried the tractor and my ‘94 K2500 with a chain. Seem like I’ll need to cut the fencing away from the trunk and start digging around it with the backhoe.

Looks like it is time to stop playing around with toys and up the game.

I've had to drill holes and run a lot of water to assist with projects like that.

A 2' bit on the hammer drill and make a little dike - not like Rosie O'Donnell - around the area to keep the water from running away.

Black powder down the fence posts ?

Black powder down the fence posts ?

He wouldn't have to worry about breaking them off

Resultant shrapnel would be dangerous. I will just go at it with the backhoe.

So, not going to bite on any of the fun options, eh?

Ok, how about we take the runner-up lazy route. Tell the neighbor's kid that you are a doomsday prepper and buried a USB drive with cryptocurrency under the tree and under each of the posts. Then grab a cool beverage and watch.

I can do it with the backhoe. I am not looking forward to detaching the backhoe to install the box grader. I have no help to do this, unless I summons my son and his business partner.

I had a total of 3 people to help with attaching the backhoe. It was not easy. I’m sure much was due to learning curve, but I am still not looking forward to it.

The Slavs fought. Friendship won. The Poles outworked the Russians.

I was able to cut and pull the old chain link out from the stump today:

3-day weekend will allow me to make a lot of progress on this project.
