Home-Built Post Pounder FENCING Tools 20-1-36 After looking for a post pounder last spring and finding that one would cost $8,200, we decided to build our own. We bought a bunch of steel and hydraulic equipment and then spent two days welding. We made the post driver and a wire roller all in one.
The hammer weighs 852 lbs. and mounts on an upright beam. It tilts back and forth and front to back 45?. It'll also slide out to the side as much as 30 in.
The attached wire roller is hydraulic-controlled and holds 1,600 ft. of wire. It can roll or roll-out wire under power or it'll free-wheel.
The entire unit mounts on the tractor 3-pt. and uses hydraulics off the tractor. All materials were new and, after pounding 3,000 posts, we are totally impressed with how well it works. (Doug Tessier, Box 2657, Stony Plain, Alberta T72 1Y2 Canada)
