As an alternative we offer these Paddock Slabs, which you backfill with fine aggregate. We have used them on our yard and filled them with scalpings, they are standing up to the tractors very well.
Please get in touch if you would like a quote. They retail at £23.35+VAT per square metre.
The Association of Fencing Industries (AFI) are looking for farmers/contractors who have experienced premature failure in timber posts:

All their products are available powder coated so blend in better than galvanised.
If you are considering any sections in panel fence have a look at Durapost.
We run a 4.2m Humbaur dropside - previously had three IWT's. The Humbaur was about 10% dearer than the equivalent Ifor, but it's a dream to tow, and about 100Kg lighter. And no rattling!
I would recommend looking at Humbaur or Bockmann: https://www.boeckmann.com/en

I take your point...
