It will work with a 12'' auger gonna take a couple weekends for a 100 posts, With the forks you can load up a bunch of posts Then just take them off as needed. If the auger gets wrapped around tree roots you have to back it out by hand

As far as other attachments go for digging new fence post what size of post hole digger do you recommend?

I figured I would put a post in every 10 T Posts. I figured roughly 40 holes and 4 for the gates. I seen the 12 inch and 15 inch augers at MFA when I got off work today. I will shop around a bit more before I take the plunge.

One other question: Other than the obvious way how can I tell if my tires are air filled or foam filled. The guy a MFA asked and I assumed they were air filled. Is that a valid question or was he confused.

You want liquid filled ( rim guard or windshield washer fluid ) rear tires for ballast

How do I determine what I have? I don't see any info on the tires.

 

[Peter 315]

What are you fencing in cattle or horses ? I don't like t posts with horses too sharp big vet bills...

Both. We have had Tennessee Walkers for 30 or so years and never had an incidents. We did have one get cut on a piece of tin that blew off a turn of the century barn when we lived up in the Kansas City area.

I speculate 70% of compact tractor tires are filled with liquid.

Perhaps 25% of compact tractor tires are inflated with air. My Kubota compact tractor tires are inflated with air.

Perhaps 5% of compact tractor tires are filled with solid foam.

An experienced operator can discern the difference between air and liquid/foam filled rear tractor tires in a short period of operation.

For you, take off the cap, press on the center valve stem with a tool ----- and see/hear what comes out. "nothing" = foam

Thanks for the tip on my profile. I updated some of my profile.

I Maybe putting in a 100 posts. as soon as the mud dries up a bit.

Don i would recommend the 6 inch bit for your job if you have a post over 6 inches (maybe a couple) use hand hoe digger to increase size, the Titan forks are not the quality of everything attachments and not as expensive either and they have done the job for me.
I installed a set of remotes on the rear of my tractor and bought a cheap grapple from Ebay ran two 3/8 hoses from the rear remotes to the front of the tractor and operate the open and close of the grapple with my remotes instead of a $900 + 3 function valve (and that price would with me installing it) It cost $120 for everything to hook it up,the grapple is one of the best attachments i have and most useful.
I will probably get flack fo buying cheaper attachments but i dont need attachments that built for commercial use i only need them every now and then.
There is a LS dealer that has u tubes on how to install rear remotes and 3 function valve go to Simple Country Tractor and check out their u tubes
I also use the rear remotes operate a hydraulic cylinder for my top link to be able to adjust my top link on the fly.
