Hydra Post Driver
I've been getting FARM SHOW for several years and thought you would be interested in our Hydra Post Driver. It's a first-of-itskind machine that works faster and safer than conventional drivers on posts of any size up to 10 ft. long, 7 in. dia. It's unique because it uses a combination of down pressure and rapid, vibrating blows to drive the post rather than the up and down strokes of a driver. It uses the same principal as a jackhammer. Downpressure varies from 0 to 4,000 lbs., depending on the tractor, and the vibrator delivers up to 1,500 blows of 500 lbs. per minute. The combination of the two forces drives large wooden posts in 10 to 60 sec., depending on the ground. Another unique feature of our machine is our pilot shaft that lets you sink a pilot hole in hard or rocky ground and then pull the shaft back out with the driver, before driving the post.
Our post driver uses a solid frame to mount to the tractor - not a 3-pt. hitch - and swings in either direction. It can also drive posts into the ground at an angle. Dismounts from the tractor in minutes. Mini-mum tractor size recommended is 80 hp. We're now building the machine for sale - there's nothing on the market that even comes close to it.
