Gas powered T post Driver

[breese]

Put up right at a mile of T post for an electric fence in about an hour and wasn’t crippled up the next day. I ain’t never manually driving a post again.

Rent a skid steer with a post driver.

We have one and miles of ranch can suck. They are an awesome tool but not driving a tractor or skid steer to certain locations has its perks. I am looking at the gas powered in addition to the implement.

I have an air driver. Best thing since sliced bread

I'll stick to a Manuel post driver. I'm too old for that crap.

Wonder how many people using these are overweight?

Now if your putting in 100 t posts ok. Or doing it for a living

I wonder how many have bad shoulders or backs. Or I guess they could be the weekend warrior such as your self. Or hell for that matter for some of us time is valuable and whatever I can do to expedite production I do.
Of course you would tell me about your diet if told you I pay someone to mow my lawn so I guess the answer is irrelevant.

Another great way to put T posts in rock is to rent a big hammer drill with a long rock bit. Drill the hole a tad smaller than the post & tap it in.
I rent them from Home Depot.
Beltek builds an air puff bit to fit their skid loader augers. They are just smaller than the post. No air needed but somehow they create air to push out the dust while drilling.

For thoes of you that have used a gas powered unit, has it been in clay or rock? I have to drill a 1-1/4" x 18" hole first then drive in by hand

After using a pneumatic driver several years ago, never again will I risk splitting my dome with the El Manual again. Rocky terrain on a friends place. We drove drill stem and T-post with it. 20 acres we drove all post in 2 days time that included welding, a beer or two, and a couple ham sammiches. Best money ever spent on rental equipment. For reference his property was in Bertram

I have rented one 3 or 4 times now. GAME CHANGER!!! Well worth the money to get back to camp for beer drinking sooner. [emoji1303]

Ive always wondered how it was actually done. Thanks for sharing.

Ive a Honda powered Rhino driver. Super nice. Kinda heavy but lean tpost over and leverage up the motor. Drive away. Until...I messed up on my unit and didnt run a inside milled coupler thingy (an extra $200-300) to keep the tpost off the housing side wall. The machine came with some plastic adapters but keeping them in the driver housing is a pain. My driver piston shaft is a bit scoured and I lose compression. The local repair shop that rents the same unit has the same problem with customers. The piston housing will need replacing eventually. I still have enough compression to run but it still fails. My soil is a clay loam with scattered lime stone rock. Most places I just go manual for exercise and easy driving. I like using the motor if Ive a mess load to do quickly otherwise I am the machine.

First time I used the machine I got thin wall 2 3/8” glavanized fence pipe stuck in the shaft. It drove the pipe just fine...but mushroomed the driving end of the pipe too. Used the tractor to pull the whole deal out of ground...pipe and motor stuck on top. Like I said...clay loam.

Dont drive thin wall 2 3/8” galvanized pipe even though it will drive 2 3/8” pipe.
