Anyone here using a post driver with their tractor? I recently acquired a horse farm and would like to install more pasture. Made the decision to purchase a post driver for my tractor, (2019 RK-55), and am looking for advice on selecting the right driver.

Currently focused on the Shaver HD-10 post driver, 3-pt hitch attached. Would need the category one conversion, but that's not a big deal. My concern is the hydraulics. The GPM on the RK55 hydraulic system is slightly lower than the requirements for the Shaver HD-10. Pressure is fine. I'm thinking this would simply mean a slower cycle time to raise the hammer. Can anyone confirm this? Would you recommend a different post driver that you're using, hopefully on your RK-55? I believe the Shaver HD-8 just isn't enough of a driver for my needs.

Feedback appreciated from anyone who is currently using or has used a post driver with their tractor. Especially an RK-55.

Thanks in advance.
