I reset about 2000ft of 5-strand T-posts in 2006. Then again in 2008. I guess it depends on what kind of ground they're drove into. In my case, it was wetland. I didn't fill at all, I just spent most of time pulling all the floatsam and jetsam off the wires after it tried out, then I would walk back and forth along the fence line about 10 posts at a time pushing each post as far as I could and using my boot to push mud in the hole that the post left.
