Skid steer post driver attachments sold in Canada — hydraulic post pounders for fence installation on farms, ranches, and construction sites.

Buyer fit check before you compare models

Product records checked through March 2026

Listings on this page are representative model snapshots, not a guarantee that every size or option fits your skid steer. Before you buy, verify the exact machine fit, hydraulic flow, attachment weight, and coupler setup for the model you plan to order.

  • Check rated operating capacity and tipping limits with the attachment installed, not just the bare machine spec.
  • Confirm coupler compatibility plus any case drain, electrical plug, or return-line requirement before ordering.
  • Check the real working load, attachment geometry, and stability on your machine: not just the headline rating.

Buyer's Guide — Post Drivers

Collapse
Hydraulic post drivers mounted on skid steers make fence post installation fast and consistent — eliminating the manual labor of driving posts by hand and allowing one operator to install a full fence line efficiently. Impact energy ranges from 700 ft-lb for standard T-posts and round wood to 1,000+ ft-lb for heavy steel and pipe. The driver cap or guide must match your post dimensions — an ill-fitting cap splits wood posts and bends T-posts. In Canada, post drivers are widely used on Prairie ranches, BC timber farms, and acreage properties where hundreds of posts need to be driven efficiently.

Sizing Guide

700 ft-lb models handle T-posts, standard 4-inch round wood posts, and 2.5-inch steel stakes — covering most farm and acreage fencing. 900–1,000 ft-lb models suit heavier square steel tube, pipe, and larger diameter wood posts. Ensure the driver head accepts the full range of post sizes you'll be driving — most models include multiple guide caps.

Hydraulic Flow

Most post drivers run on standard auxiliary flow (12–20 GPM). High-flow variants offer higher BPM (blows per minute) for production work where speed is critical. Standard-flow machines handle the full range of typical farm and acreage fencing work without issue.

Brands in Canada

Robson (Canadian, widely used across Prairie provinces, strong reputation), Skid Pro (solid value), Blue Diamond (good mid-tier option), TMG Industrial (budget, fine for light use), Bobcat (dealer-supported). Robson is the most recognized Canadian-market post driver brand with strong Prairie distribution.

Most Common Mistake

Driving posts into frozen ground without pre-drilling. Post drivers can force posts through frozen Prairie soil, but posts driven into frozen ground often heave out when spring thaw cycles begin. Pre-drill or core in frozen conditions in freeze-thaw zones — particularly in areas with significant frost depth like the Prairies and Northern Ontario.

Hydraulic post drivers mounted on skid steers make fence post installation fast and consistent — eliminating the manual work of driving posts by hand or renting dedicated post drivers. Hydraulic impact energy ranges from 700 ft-lb for standard fence posts to 1000+ ft-lb for large steel posts and piping. Compatible with T-posts, wooden fence posts, and steel stakes. All products listed here are available in Canada.

Where to startMatch the post diameter rating and impact energy class to your typical post size — a 700 ft-lb model handles most farm and acreage fencing, while 900–1000 ft-lb models suit heavier steel posts.
How to choose
  • Driving T-posts and round wood fence posts on Prairie farms? → Any standard-flow post driver handles this.
  • Driving large corner posts or square tube into hard Alberta clay? → Look for higher impact energy (750–1,000+ ft-lb models).
  • Frozen ground in January? → A post driver won't penetrate deeply frozen ground — frost auger bits are the alternative.
  • Occasional fencing only? → Post drivers rent at many western Canadian dealers — ownership requires significant fence volume.
Lower Demand Period — Good availability and lead times. Ideal time to buy before spring rush.

Frequently Asked Questions

What impact energy rating do I need for my fence posts?
700 ft-lb models handle T-posts, standard 4-inch round wood, and 2.5-inch steel stakes — covering most farm and acreage fencing on the Prairies and in BC. 900–1,000 ft-lb models suit heavier square steel tube, pipe, and larger diameter wood posts, or driving into resistant Alberta clay and Saskatchewan hardpan. Match impact energy to your post type and soil resistance, not just post size.
Do post drivers require high-flow hydraulics?
No — most post drivers run on standard auxiliary flow (12–20 GPM). High-flow variants offer higher blows-per-minute for production work where speed is critical. Standard-flow machines handle the full range of typical farm and acreage fencing work. If you're doing contract fencing with high post volumes daily, the high-flow variant's extra BPM has real value; for farm fencing, standard flow is sufficient.
Can I drive fence posts into frozen ground?
Post drivers can force T-posts and steel tube through lightly frozen Prairie soil, but posts driven into frozen ground often heave out when spring thaw cycles. The frost holds them temporarily but releases them as soil thaws and re-freezes unevenly. In freeze-thaw zones — most of the Prairies and Northern Ontario — pre-drill or core holes in frozen conditions. It's extra work now versus pulling crooked posts every spring.
Are post drivers available in Canada?
Yes. Robson is the most recognized Canadian-market post driver brand, widely distributed across the Prairie provinces with strong dealer support. Skid Pro offers solid value. Blue Diamond has good Canadian availability. TMG Industrial is a budget option. For Prairie farms and BC timber properties, Robson is the most commonly used brand with the best local support network.
Post driver vs manual driving — how many posts can I do per hour?
A skilled manual post-driving crew handles roughly 50–80 T-posts per hour in good soil. A skid steer post driver manages 150–300+ posts per hour depending on soil and post spacing. The break-even point for renting a post driver attachment vs using a manual crew is usually around 100–150 posts. For any fence project over a quarter mile, a skid steer driver is faster and saves significant labour cost.
What post types can a skid steer post driver handle?
Most models accept T-posts (standard 1.25-inch wide), round wood posts (2.5–5 inch diameter), and square steel tube through interchangeable guide caps or inserts. Confirm your driver includes the specific guide cap for your post type before ordering — the wrong cap splits wood posts and bends T-posts. Most models ship with 2–3 guide insert options.
How do I maintain a post driver?
Grease all impact guide bushings and driver head fittings before every use. Inspect guide caps or insert components after every session — worn guides split posts, which then stick in the guide, which damages the driver tube. Check hydraulic connections and accumulator pressure (if equipped) before each use. After working in clay, clean the guide tube of soil compaction inside the driver housing. Inspect the impact guide rod monthly for scoring.
