Tractor-Hydraulics-Powered Post Driver

The Tractor-Hydraulics-Powered Post Driver is a three-point-hitch mounted device powered by the tractor’s hydraulic system. It will handle all standard-size wood or steel posts and can deliver up to 40 strokes per minute, depending on the tractor used. For one person to set a post, it requires properly positioning the tractor then dismounting to operate the hydraulic controls on the driver. With two people working (one driving the tractor, the other operating the device), a substantial number of posts can be set in a short time.
