Design of post pounder is from the fifties I think, designed around the small fords 8-9n. The just stopped making this model not long ago and I wish they hadn't. It really is a great tool for the small tractor. Picked it up for $600 CAD and it's worth a whole lot more than that to me!

Glad it worked for you! I have a BX25D and the little beast is constantly surprising me!
That said, how in the world did someone (dealer/private) allow you to have an "extended" test drive...? Obviously, you did more than "test" the machine...:laughing:

Seller was family of mine. It was great machine and I would buy something like it, but for the price tag I could've bought something a little older and a lot bigger

Congrats on the purchase. I've ran equipment my whole life from 100k lb excavators down to my little BX25. I got to say this thing amazes me. It punches well above its weight. And as far as digging stumps out well those who say you must be doing it wrong. I live in some extremely rocky clay soil and I've dug plenty. Took me an hour to dig this one. Good luck with it. stump.jpg

Post pounder is a Danuser MD-6. It uses pto to turn a rubber wheel. Use a lever to push wheel against the weight to lift it up. Lever uses brake pads to hold it up and release both pads and wheel to let it drop. Comes down with gravity alone so hitting power doesn't change with size of tractor. Ground is all clay soft to medium spring conditions
