The place we bought a few years ago has a corner washing out and not long from rotting off, (why anyone uses something besides hedge or steel is beyond me). Being this is SW Missouri there is no shortage of rocks. I cut up some 4 foot cattle panels and built a 4x4x5 box in that corner to support the fence, cross tying it with #9 wire about every foot up to keep it square. That corner of our place was grown up with young timber and pretty steep down to the old post. I sawed out a path and hooked my home-made 4 x 8 trailer to the front of Hank, my 8N, and after backing and unloading 7 loads of rock, (and one sawed up 15.5 x 38 rear tire) into the box, I was finished, (so was the project 
).
It’s funny to me now but when I was a kid growing up I put in many long hours on an 8N like Hank and I swore I’d never have one myself. Now that I do it turned out to be as handy as a pocket on a shirt. It sure was a handy way to back a trailer down into a hole.
