Dick.
Have you used one before? How do they work?

They work great. I used a borrowed unit for some time on an 800 Ford. Had to lock the 3pt in a certain position, but the pounder worked swell. Be forewarned the they will shatter shaky posts if they hit something solid. And by all means, be sure you keep your hands out of the way of the striker!!!!!!

Just like dick said. My brother just bought a used one this year for the front of my 1600. Works great and we're left wondering why we didn't get one sooner.

We had one on a dc case for many years. Just use one remote for the lift and plumb the return directly into the reservoir. Make sure to use a large enough port so there is no restriction in the return. They work great.

A Shaver post pounder works great.
Several tips:
1) Do not sharpen your post to a point. You will not get the angles equal on each side and the post will shoot off on one direction or another. Also if you hit a root or rock they will go crooked. Leave about 3-4 inches of the end flat. The post will drive much straighter.

2) On large corner post I have a 4 inch hand twist digger. I dig down 3 foot or so with it. Keep it good and sharp and it does not take long to twist a hole that small that deep. Then drive you corner post in that small hole. Kind of like pre-drilling a screw hole in wood. The larger post will drive easier and it will follow the small hole and go straight. Shaver makes a hydraulic auger attachment that swings right around the driver to drill a pilot hole. I would like to have one.

3) The best time to drive posts is when the ground is soft. Lots of the time in early spring I will drive posts when the tractor is just about spinning with the ground so soft. The post will drive much easier and they will be tighter than a post driven into dry hard ground.

I have one now did not like it on a tractor made a bracket to mount on skid steer that is the only way to drive posts. much faster to move to next position.

The one my brother bought is a front mount. I just backed up in a line, my brother ran the pounder and I drove. Pounded 18 posts in about an hour, learning curve and all.
