Getting ready to fence and looking for an easier way.

Never have used one like that - just a hand pounder. Whatl they think of next?!

Looks pretty slick. I've used a large hex demolition hammer/breaker with some success. They make heads for driving ground rods and tent stakes that work pretty well. The trick is getting up in the air to put the driver on top of the post when you start.

just use the flat bottom of your bucket

Need pretty soft ground before thatll work well with a compact tractor. And when the ground is soft a hand pounder works great and only requires 1 person.

I use a 12 pound sledge and my 18 year old son.

That might work if your land is all flat and the ground is soft and you have two people. I have a three foot chunk of 4" well pipe with a 40 lb blob of steel welded on one end. I can get into places where my tractor would never go - which is where a lot of my fence happens to be.

There ain't no way you can push a t post in the ground with a loader here in Cochise county.

Or most places. It just bends the T post, they are pretty soft metal.

I have tried something like that and it's hit and miss. I bought 7' posts. I took a 5' piece of 2" pipe and welded a cap on one end. I could push them in with the hoe bucket. The longer pipe keeps them from bending so easy. When I tried a shorter pipe the posts almost always bent. The 5' pipe gave me a mark where to stop pushing. When something goes wrong like the post bending or the bucket slipping off , the person on the ground better not be someone you like.
