I am about to finish clearing off and burning about five acres that I am going to fence in. I was talking to a buddy about buying some fence posts that he had and he told me he had a fence post driver that I could borrow. I had figured to use my brothers PHD since we swap equipment anyway. He borrows my stuff breaks it and then brings it back for me to fix so he can borrow it again but thats another post. The idea of a post driver is right up my alley. No tamping no cleaning out holes. As we talked about driving posts my buddy asked if my tractor had rear hyd outlets. After that he asked if it had a place on the rear to add hyd oil. Seems the driver uses one side of the remote outlet and dumps fluid back into the hyd reservoir on the rear of the tractor. I havent seen it yet and I was wondering if anyone had used one like this and could offer advise. My tractor is a 3520 and I was wondering if it had the horsepower and hyd capacity to operate this unit and not do damage to my tractor. He claims this driver will drive a 6" post 18 to 24" every stroke. This I"ll have to see to believe.
