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