The pallet forks are working great for moving the "logs", but the posts are still a handful when we load them onto the forks from the "pile". So - took a minute to look at our "process" to see what I could do to improve load times. The forks were somewhat difficult to get under the logs (they tend to dig into the dirt), so I figured why not use the logs against themselves. We took two of the posts and put them horizonal to the steel wrapped bundle of 25 posts - then cut the bands and rolled the posts onto the two we had set horizonal. Now the "logs" are at least 6" off the ground and it's very easy to move under them with the forks to grab a set.
I've got 4 bundles of 25 and another of 22. I went through two bundles before I got tired enough of man-handling the logs to try something different. Luckily I didn't get all the way to the end before I figured this out! :laughing:
Assuming everything goes as planned, we should be finished setting posts next weekend. I'm actually hoping to get at least one roll of wire up as well. :thumbsup:
