Powered T post driver

[Ken45101]

For a couple hundred posts, I'd save the $500, and just put them in by hand. A few thousand posts, well, maybe.

You young whippersnappers can say that.... ;-)

yes I Have put in hundreds if not thousands with a hand driver,(Tee posts) and my shoulders are revolting,

It was so hard and dry here last year, that I was putting in rod posts, with a Air chipper and a ground rod driver, (it was taking over 50 hits with a 2 lb sledge, for driving a 1/2" rebar fence post) and Tee posts were out of the question.

we put up and take down winter temporary fencing ever year, putting up some times 4 to 6 miles of it,

and I have a eclectic jack hammer, NO way am I handing that on top of a Tee post,
the smaller (tee post only) man saver weighs 23 pounds according to the factory, not 35 like striker, or 70 like my bosh jack hammer,

This is why I am asking about the air man saver driver.

I've got the striker and haven't any real issues. Got an inline oiler to keep it lubed. Did about 2000 feet this year so far.

I have the rohrer -- love it....saves my bad shoulders ---I put genset, compressor, tools and driver on my carry-all and go to it. Without the driver 10 -20 t-posts will keep my shoulders talking to me for 2 weeks.

I have the Rohrer driver took a little bit of adjusting for the rocky ground I have around my place but it sure made putting in the T-posts easier. I put a Honda generator to run my compressor both in the back of my UTV and drove it around while using the Rohrer. I would buy another if I ever needed one.:thumbsup:

We don't run into much rock around here, so we just push them in with the loader bucket. Just pound it in enough to stand, and just push down. Now and then we hit a hard spot or rock, but a few licks with the bucket usually breaks them through.

Well my jackhammer with picket driver is just under 30 pounds. I have the generator in the back of my pickup. Wife drives pickup to position for pole. Holds pole vertical. I am on the tray of the pickup. Slip jackhammer over T post and press trigger. You need zero down force. wife drives to next post. Put 1000's of post in this way.
