manual post driver

[SALTBRANCH2]

I need a manual post driver to try and set some 2-3/8" pipe posts. How heavy are you fence guys building these? I have some 3-1/2" Sc40 wall to use. I am just curious weight I need to get them to?

Now that's just unrealistic, unless those are Keystones.

Mine is heavy enough I don't want to use it.

About 3' of 6" schedule 80, some 1-1/2" tube for handles, and doubled up 1" AR plate for a driving cap. If I could post pics, I'd show ya.

I think you've actually seen this one.
It's about 80 pounds honest.



Here's some back up materials. You can easily get a 100 pounds plus. It's 51/2 drill stem ends. You get up this way I'll give you one.

Yes I remember seeing that big monster. I need to build a little fence here at the house and thought I might try to set some pipe instead of digging hole cement etc. Plus I got a new to me hobart wire feed to play with. Anyways I was thinking about that big post driver laying on the bed of your truck that day I brought the tractor. I gotta go through my scrap pile and see how much weight I can get together. One of these days I am going to make it back through your hood. I want to get a roll of that barb wire to try out. Maybe you need to buy another tractor down here that I can deliver :cboy:

Just use the loader on your tractor. Problem solved.
