    No, don't you change a thing! I need the laughter. But, does that mean I can tell people I have a second home in Florida?

    I'm jealous. I wish I knew more about this size tractor. I really like the advice you have been getting so far. As for fence posts, I strongly second pounding posts. Way faster and actually more solid than dug posts. I also like hiring someone else or at least renting the equipment to do it. Those things are HARD on whatever you have it mounted on (skid steer or tractor). One nice option here is that a local place rents a self contained trailer post pounder that just needs a 2" ball something like this. It can easily be towed behind a tractor or even a pickup truck if the ground is level enough and you don't have to dodge too many trees or boulders. It's street legal too, so I don't have to pay for pick up and delivery.
