Everyone love the idea of driving fence posts but wants to know: "What if I need something more AGRESSIVE?" Today we pit 3 different kinds of top-quality Rhino post drivers against each other to see which one dominates. It's the ultimate Hydraulic VS Gas VS Pneumatic showdown! - Навчання та стиль
Thumbnail and editing on point 👌 Also, I concur. 👍
That Rhino I purchased from you will drive a 20 foot sand point well in sandy ground. It’s great Machine for the money. The hydraulic, I found it best to use a lever an some coil springs in on a tractor or skid steer bucket to make it float, Instead of lugging them around , they are impressive! To me the air is big of a hassle, extra equipment you have to lug around.
air system is the most useful. If you hit rock the air can be used for a rock drill and or a breaker/chisel. we use the pto one with the skidsteer only. Gas pounders suck unless you live in Florida
Greeting from sunny Florida! When i first started watching this channel, i thought driving was not thecway to go. In truth, i dint have experience with driving poats. ( we always dig) its a little intimidating when i dream of coming to work there, hopefully the learning curve wont be that steep.
I just ordered the Hammer and im pretty excited to see how much more productivity we have on chain link and vinyl.
Love it!
QUESTION: How would YOU install a fence post (for vinyl) through an existing ashphalt driveway (cold climate) min 4' depth for frost?
Can you test Well Point Driving? Do I NEED a jack hammer for hardpan? Or will a Rhino GPD-45 be good enough? thanks
Never knew such devices existed. I have heavy clay soil and was gonna go either the auger method or dynamite for a fence extension. This seems much easier with less chance of pissing off the neighbors.
Where did you guys learn this stuff. Ive been following your channel a while. You guys switch from the concrete method to this. Where did the idea come from?
Hey dudes… you kinda missed the Mark!
Air, gas, hydraulic…. What about Otis?
Around these parts, everyone knows the best post driver is Otis. Using a gas pipe he got from the utility company scrap yard…. A 10 pound plug welded into its end… two 1/2” rebar chunks, left over from John Stover’s loafing shed stem wall, bent into bow handles…. He made his own custom driver.
His arms are the size of my thighs. His chest is puffed out like the Michelin Man. His 6’10” height gives him the wingspan of a two man glider.
Otis can sink a post without breaking a sweat. I’ve seen him sink T-posts through Ozark Mountain dirt with just two whacks. And, snap them off if they hit limestone on their way down…
I’d like to see you run that same test against Otis on T-posts….So, the next time you’re traveling through S/W MO. Call ahead and we can set up the test.
Just make sure it’s before lunch. Because, he has to spend most afternoons distilling and testing his corn squeezings!
We'll have to make that happen! Can't pass up an opportunity like that! 🤣
Is there a spec for the energy per strike (e.g., in foot-pounds) and strikes/minute rate? What are the respective horsepower inputs? Then compare to a demolition tool air hammer, which is the classic standard device for powered pounding on things.
The 185 CFM compressor is like 50 HP; how are you even able to compare this to a 1 or 2 HP gasoline engine driver? Is the air tool really consuming anything like 185 CFM?
I've used a case skip loader, worked perfect.
I see the gas one is all you need, hydraulic and pneumatic you need pumps
Greetings again from sunny Florida! The SWI logo with the bucking bronco really fits the Wyoming branding of your original location. Have you given any thought to a new logo to represent sunny Florida?
We have one! It just doesn't make it into all the videos. 👍🏻
Is that Cody or Powell, easier to drive in the summer when the ground is not frozen?
so does the hydraulic version run off your mini skid steer? i’ve been interested in a hydraulic driver but don’t fully understand them.
Correct. You can also buy hydraulic power units (bit like a portable generator), but if you're building regularly you've more than likely already got a skid steer.
Amazing, I’m new to the fencing game and just found out about these beauties. Will this drive a square aluminum post ?
I had the same question a while back: ua-cam.com/video/rYxsYnAf5lw/v-deo.html
Will any of these work for 2-7/8” casing? Oilfield pipe?
The hydraulic will fit over 2 7/8". You would also need a drive cap.
Interesting! Having a fence built here in north Texas, and he us using a skid steer to put post in the ground. I wondered what was out there. I'm too old to use my 40lb manual driver I made in my 20's. ;)
I've always been too old to use a 40lb manual driver. 😉
@@SWiFence Well, explanation......It's got long handles and several guys can work it at the same time! ;) Actually only weighs about 30lbs I guess. ;)
yall install guardrail for WYDOT?
Is the hydraulic driver like a vibrator or a hammer type? Still want to see how those would perform in coral rock!
Which model is the Air Rhino? I need to drive 4" SS40 post. Will the air rhino drive it? Or will an gas power driver drive a 4" post?
The air rhino is a PD 55 but to drive 4 inch pipe with an air driver you would need one of the larger versions. this is true with just about any of them. Most of these drivers are limited to about 3 inch pipe. When we need to drive 4 inch we typically use one of our larger drivers such as the Montana T-Rex. it takes quite a lot of power to get a post like that in the ground and these drivers simply don’t have the weight to get it done effectively.
@@SWiFence Thank you!!
I like fence and fencing tools. I currently am fenceless.
I keep looking for the masks and foils but alas! I find none!
🤣🤣 Took me a second...
Between air and hydraulic what’s best for mobility moving through trees and being a hundred feet or so away from your power source
A hydraulic power pack with a hydraulic driver is probably the most agile. The air compressors can be very large and hard to move through forested areas, and both will have hoses. Shorter hoses with a power pack for the hydraulic will probably be the easiest, but it could be a toss up.
@@SWiFencewhat power pack do you recommend?
Either of these:

central texas - I choose air
I'm having a good dang day!
The hydraulic should be on a skid plate
How about, helmet and safety boots, shoes, and proper ear-guard, however good one, have chosen hydraulic.
Hearing protection is like a good retirement plan. Who wants to be deaf?
Gas still wins for portability
That's a fact.
