T post driver

[John D]

In my old age I dont like driving T post's but had 45 of them to put in so I built this thing. Not pretty but it sure saved me alot of time. Built the frame from some 3x3x1/4 angle and had a pc of 3 inch pipe that I filled in with some solid round stock at the top end and welded it to the center of the frame. Tried it out and it worked great. Had some scaffold levelers laying around so I cut off the base's and welded the allthread on each end of the frame to hold the wire rolls. Workrd so well I built a hitch for the FEL and a rock bucket.

I set a post in the ground to store it on.

How exactly does it work? ...with the FEL. You still have to start the post and use this to push it down?

Do you have any problem keeping posts stright?

That's exactly what I had in mind for my skidsteer. Very nice and simple.

Not realy. I had my son hold them up as I got over them and once I got them driven I could go forward or back to level them.
