Serious project! Do you have any photos showing your rig at work...?

Nope, sorry no action photos.

I wish I did, but when we got going in the morning, I totally forgot to bring the camera. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif I get to occupied with the to-do list and always seem to forget to take progress pictures.
Before, middle and after. Have to work on that!

Anyone else like that? /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

We put up several hundred T-post at my dads for a horse pasture. We used a heavy duty tow behind construction air compressor and a 110 lb air jack hammer with an old cut-off bit to drive our post. It took three people to do it this way but it was very easy. We layed the fence out first set the corner post and pulled lines and marked our post locations with marking paint. Then we loaded the post in the back of the truck and drove around and dropped the post off at each mark on the ground. One person drove the truck, one road in the back with the jack hammer and the other person walked beside. We used a 4x4 Dodge 3500 Dually. The guy walking beside the truck held the post straight, and the guy on the tailgate lifted the jack hammer onto the post and drove it. The guy on the ground helped the guy on the tailgate lift the hammer back to the truck. We drove several post very fast. In about half a day we had set around 300-400 t-post. We set some in rock that could not be driven by hand.
