Those T posts bend awful easily.

I don't need to "make something" to put in T post...

I load my loader bucket with everything I need, then I can get off the tractor and start a T post with a sledge, get back on the tractor and push it in with the bucket. Having a "helper" in a HUGE time saver...

Hard ground? For those, I use a bucket full of dirt to push them in, if that doesn't do it, then a post pounder won't do it either!

Are you thinking of the cheap formed metal ones or the solid steel ones? The ones we are putting in aren't Home Depot garden ones. 😉😎

The solid ones from any of the local farm stores. They bend if you try to push them into hard rocky soil.

Doesn't sound like you are very good at that job, cuz if you was, it would cover the WHOLE payment!!

I saw the youtube video of the guy in Oklahoma.

Tee post Driver System - YouTube

Any concern in driving the t post in at the side of the bucket - unbalanced force on the front end loader. I would take a blank quick attach plate and rig it up in the middle so you get even load on the loader arms.

I made one that goes on the side of my bucket and it twist the loader a good bit when in hard ground. I'm going to move it so a hay spear I have and mount it in the center. IMG_1346.JPG
