skid steer post knocker

[Themandownunder]

I'm looking to buy a post knocker - it will be fitted to an asv 100 positrack machine
I want one that is self levelling if possible or hydraulically adjustable
Any experiance or advice out there
It will be used for vinyard posts and rural fencing in harsh condition in sunbaked australia with treated pine posts
I can pilot drill if neccessary

Manufacturers or dealers are welcome to contact me as I will be coming over to the states hopefully in the near future to purchase other equipment..........especially if they are close to some good fishing spots

Here in the states we call them post drivers. My company distributes the Shaver HD series on the west coast.

We have had very good luck with them in the fairly rocky and rugged conditions out here. Generally, as I understand, the limiting factor on these drivers in harsh conditions is not the power of the machine, but the weight of the tractor. It seems hydraulic drivers are actually powerful enough that they can get your tractor pogo-ing, if the post doesn't want to go.

The Shaver HD is available with a hydraulic base and does have a pilot auger attachment.

Here's a PDF of the sales literature for the Shaver Drivers:
