Post Hole and Setting Poles - Tractor Shed - Day 1 Video

[jjmaes22]

Small tractor shed - 20 x 30.

Day 1 we were able to dig the holes, set the poles, trusses, purlins and get 2/3rds of the tin on. Not bad for a days work.

Here is a video of my me, my boys, father and father in-law setting up, digging and getting the poles set

I enjoyed the pictures. Best wishes. Thanks for posting.

Thanks. The video should be up now too - look Youtube all night to process it and post it for some reason.

Wow. Tell your father or father law to stay the **** away from the post hole digger while you are jerking it around like a mad man. That was seriously unsafe. He gets a sleeve caught in that baby and he's gone before you can stop the PTO. Just not worth it.

Sorry to be safety police, but that video was scary.

Nice shed coming together though! Did you seriously get all that done in just one day?

Agree with deezler. Please make sure NO ONE gets that close to the PHD when its operating. This is probably the most dangerous piece of equipment you own

WOW ! IMHO -THAT WAS SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS ! I would have been heading for the truck if I was there !:duh: He had no idea what you were doing and the look on the fathers face was fear! shearing the pin on the second hole would have been a good clue of over working it !

Yes- the shearing pin is a clear indication of over working the tool. Thank you for the great advice.

Hey ,I'm not trying to give you a hard time but in 2 1/2 weeks of owning it , its caught on fire and could have seriously injured or killed your father in law ,We all want to go out and put them to work but sometimes it's best to get used to the new tractor in a safe place away from other people who might by accident get in the way . No one in here ever wants to hear any story of someone getting hurt when it could be avoided . Safety first speed never wins .:thumbsup:

 

[jjmaes22]

Well Grumpy Old Man - great advice all around. Thank you so much for your insight. I will be sure to make sure that this is the first place that I continue to share with.
