Skid Steer Post Drivers

A hydraulic post driver attachment eliminates the need for drilling oversized holes and backfilling to firm the post. This means, of course, the only thing you need to bring to the site, besides your lunch, is the post driver, and posts.

A hammer style self-contained post driver will drive a post at 35 strokes per minute as large as even railroad ties, and as small as a skid steer T-post driver, with minimal hydraulic power. The minimum post size is 3''. The skid steer maneuverability allows it to be easily moved around buildings, carports, trees, and other impediments.

An optional tilt function allows the operator to place posts on uneven surfaces such as hills. When pounding post, it is helpful to have a spotter. Landscapers, highway scapers, fencing companies, and municipalities will love this attachment because you can pound posts faster and on almost any terrain. Easy, reliable, powerful, and fast. 

We do recommend the use of hearing protection and any other personal protective equipment the job requires, including safety shoes or boots, and a hard hat.

How Do Hydraulic Post Drivers For Skid Steers Work?

A pole pounder is exactly what it sounds like. It is a tool used to drive fence posts into the ground. Setting fence posts may seem like an easy task, after all, it only requires you to make a hole in the ground, but it is a bit more complicated than that. The last thing you want is your fence falling over because the posts are set too shallow into the ground.

First and foremost, the posts need to be well-rooted in the ground so that they can hold up well even in the face of outside elements. Vibratory Post Drivers allow for an even downward movement of the post so that it is driven deep into the ground with minimal damage to the post.

The basic principles of how the post drivers work, regardless of their design, are the same. The process involves applying a large downward force to the post, which causes it to be driven evenly into the ground.
