Big Post Pounder Drives Posts Up To 17 Ft. Tall
"This trailer-mounted post pounder has a hammer that weighs 1,000 lbs. and can reach posts up to 17 ft. high," says Larry Laczko, Pilger, Sask.
  A long hydraulic cylinder attaches to a steel cable, which raises the hammer. It free-falls onto the post once it reaches the top.
  The machine runs off either tractor hydraulics or optional, self-contained hydraulic power units.
  "It's built heavy for big jobs and is the safest and most durable pounder on the market," says Laczko. "It hooks up to any size tractor in just minutes. Works great for pounding very tall posts for elk or deer. To keep deer contained, you need fences that are 10 ft. high. Even bison owners like it. They don't need real tall posts but they do need very strong fences, and they like this rig's pounding ability.
  "The angle of the mast can be adjusted 20 in. from side to side on hills. By using an optional telescoping hitch, the mast can also be moved forward or backward. Also optional are an adjustable axle and stabilizing pads for rough terrain. When you push a hydraulic lever down, the axle lifts up, allowing the operator to side shift the entire rig 10 ft. at a time. A separate hydraulic cylinder is used to tilt the mast forward at an angle for transport position."
  Sells for $6,995 (U.S.)
