Fence Faster With Trailer Post Pounder
A trailer-mounted post pounder from Applegate Livestock Equipment was designed for ranchers and contractors who install miles of fence posts. “The ease of operation, heavier mast and pounder head get the job done 25 to 50 percent faster than some other products on the market,” says William Dilts, product manager for Applegate business.
Applegate developed and began selling the post pounder in August 2018. Set up on a trailer that can be pulled with a pickup or utility tractor, it includes a bin to hold posts. A 750-lb. hammer with adjustable height, powered by a 14 hp. Kohler engine and direct mounted hydraulic pump, can drive in posts up to 12 in. in dia. and 12 ft. long. Its low gravity and wide stance offer stability on uneven ground. The joy stick operation makes it easy to use.
“On the hitch, it will let you move 16 in. so you don’t have to be real precise where you stop to get exact post placement,” Dilts says.
The trailer post pounder sells for $15,750, and there are dealers across the U.S. and Canada. Dilts noted that Applegate plans to have 3-pt. and skidsteer side mast models available soon.
A video and more information are included on the company’s website.
