Is This Right For You?

Buy if

  • You install T-posts, U-posts, or round wood posts for farm fencing, property lines, or temporary enclosures
  • Ground conditions are mixed — impact drivers work in clay, gravel, and rocky ground that vibratory can't penetrate
  • You want to add fencing capability to your skid steer without a dedicated fence post machine

Skip if

  • You install hundreds of posts per day — a vibratory driver is significantly faster in suitable soil conditions
  • Large timber piles or structural posts are your main product — a heavy-duty driver handles that range better

Also consider

  • Vibratory post driver for faster installation in soft to medium soils
  • Heavy-duty post driver for large wood posts and difficult ground
Machine Compatibility

Compatible with all skid steer brands and compact track loaders via universal SSQA quick attach. Mid-frame machines (S450–S650 class) are the most common fit.

Care & Maintenance

  • Grease all impact guide bushings and driver head fittings before every use — the impact energy transmits through these components on every blow
  • Inspect driver cap or guide inserts after every session — worn or cracked guide caps split wood posts and bend T-posts, which then jam inside the driver tube
  • Check hydraulic hose connections and the pressure accumulator (if equipped) before each use
  • After work in clay or mud, clean the guide tube interior to prevent soil compaction that restricts post insertion and causes the posts to jam
  • Inspect the impact guide rod monthly for scoring or deformation — a scored rod causes erratic impact energy and accelerated bushing wear

How to Connect

  1. Attach post driver using Bob-Tach
  2. Connect single-acting hydraulic circuit for hammer
  3. Set machine to single-action mode if available
  4. Test one light hammer stroke before driving at full force
Safety NotePost drivers use single-direction hydraulic flow. Keep hands clear of hammer mechanism.
