Question on 3 point hitch post drivers?
Will a 3 point hitch post drivers set wood post(say 4x6 or 6x6) "as straight as a string"?
Basically, when I set posts for retaining walls and fences, I plumb up both ends posts of a given section and run a string between them(over my per augured holes) and them plumb each post to the string and brace it off.
After watching videos of post drivers, this would eliminate a lot of work if they can be driven accurately enough to keep them plumb and within 1/4" +/- of being on the same plane.
Having never even laid eyes on a post driver, I have no idea how accurate they can drive a post.
I find it had to believe they can drive a cross tie into red Georgia clay, but I have seen claims to that effect.
