Overview
The Cat Work Tools Heavy Duty Skid Steer Post Driver drives T-posts, round posts, and U-channel posts hydraulically — no manual sledgehammer work on Canadian fence installations. Cat attachments are available through Canadian equipment dealers and distributors. Hydraulic impact delivers controlled driving energy, reducing post damage and operator fatigue on long fence lines. Mounts via universal SSQA. Available through Cat Work Tools dealers across Canada.

Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You drive large wood fence posts, landscape timbers, or round posts into hard or rocky ground
- Farm fencing, ranch infrastructure, or commercial property perimeter fencing where post size is large
- Impact force matters more than speed — heavy drivers hit harder for difficult soils and large post diameters
⛔ Skip if…
- You're installing standard T-posts in soft ground — a standard or vibratory driver is faster and cheaper
- Weight is a concern on your machine — heavy-duty drivers add significant weight to the front
🔍 Also consider…
- Standard hydraulic post driver for T-posts and normal fence post work
- Vibratory post driver for faster installation in soft-to-medium soils
🔧 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
