i do remember comments of some went in at an angle. and i want to say they were not "making the bottom end of post into a point" but straight cut on end, and just hammering them in. maybe same person or another DIY builder doing 6" posts. i want to say the builder was putting in 3" or 4" wood posts with it. that raised the weight up and let it come down on post to hammer it in, yes, it looked "old school" but simple enough in design. but still life saver on the muscles and shoulders, upper back, neck. i would imagine they still weight a descent amount.
looks to be like a standard 2 handle man handled T post driver, but instead of muscle an air cylinder to lift it up, and some valves and a trigger. The air compressor units seemed to be nice. Not sure if i could deal with the shot gun shells, or LP versions, seem rather expensive waste. and pick up off of a trailer level it and sink it into the ground. Have seen, shot gun shell like post drivers, to LP units, to air compressor units, to hydrualic units, then extremely expensive units that connect to a backhoe. beyond the normal augers ( 1 man, 2 man, 3pt hitch, skid steer) if memory serves they also have a post driver to rent out. there is a couple places about an hour in each direction, that rents out nearly everything that one could need, from simple hand tools, to trailers and tractors. vs searching all websites.Ĭontact a local rental machinery place. The site: only brings stuff back from this website.

there are a few threads of different DIY builds of post drivers that i do remember seeing over the years. I have tried a hammer drill for say using a concrete bit to drill a hole. I have wanted to try a ground rod driver on a T post but never had one around to try when needed a T post put in.īackhoe and ground rod = *meh* it work, but ended up with bending a ground rod and had to pull it out and get a new one put in. i can grab T post with backhoe bucket / pipe end and get it straight. even if T post almost falls over to the ground. also lets me just "stab" the T post in by hand. to deal with the "bent post" happening, along with keep from bending the post. the backhoe lets me move back and forth in various direction. and a pipe i can catch to top of T post in. It is a bit more pricey than other wire rope, but I like the 25 year warranty. We are using Electrobraid for the barrier. Certainly much easier to work in a pair, but we have to make do with what we have. Working alone with the bucket is a challenge, but can be overcome. Our soil is sandy loam/clay so pushing T-post in with bucket is zero issue. Once we go with wood I will do 10 or 12 foot gates so I can get bigger equipment in if need be. I can get my tractor through a 6 foot gate. Wedge loc also makes a product to hang a gate off the T-post. Once we start to put in the rest of the fence I want to do wood posts at the corners as well. This is for some somewhat temporary pasture to get the horses home. These gas or air-powered drivers offer a multitude of configurations allowing operators to quickly change sizes of posts in seconds. I am using a 7 footer for the corner and 6 footers the rest of the way around. It’s post time Drive T-posts, fence posts, sign posts and more with Herc Rentals post drivers. You can use Wedge-Loc Corner/In-Line Brace - For Life Out Here to do T-Posts for the corners.

Its portability and flexibility make it a favorite among professional fence contractors.Exact project I am working on right now. It is typically used for erosion control, agriculture, livestock management, sign installation, rental tent installation, and more.

If you are trying to maximize your time and money in the field, the Fence Pro is an exceptional choice. The Fence Pro’s default adapter is 2″, but can be equipped with optional 1-3/4″ or 1″ adapters. It also increases the tool’s effective lifespan substantially. Integrated with the 2-1/2″ chuck is the innovative Chuck-Lok technology, which increases the tool’s efficiency by allowing for fast chuck changes in the field and ensuring proper positioning for optimal driving power. Rhino’s GPD-40 Fence Pro is a triumph of engineering.
