re: Replacing rotten posts in overgrown fence line

I’d try a chain and a front end loader to pull them up, and if that fails, chainsaw them at the ground. Place the new fence posts right in the middle of the existing ones.
I’m slowly refencing a whole pasture of old barb wire fence myself and will be replacing all the wooden posts within the next year.

And a PTO-driven auger should be plenty to cut through tallow tree roots, but I’m not sure about grinding the fence posts. Never tried that.

I'm working by myself, pulling them up with a chain would take quite a while, though it would probably give the best results.
What works for me is bush hogging everything I can, then working small to large. Start off getting everything I can with the weedeater, coming behind that with an electric pruner to get all the small trees and limbs in the way. That leaves a nice, wide open working area to cut everything flush to the ground.
If an auger will break through the roots, that's probably the way to go. I have just seen people talking about getting stuck and that seems like a pita. Tallow trees are super soft though, hopefully it's not a problem.
Any preference between 4" round post and 4x4 posts? The maker of the mesh recommends round over 4x4, but doesn't mention why.
