The Hammer That Drives Corner Posts Into the Ground!

  • We are starting a new fence project and decided to try something different with the corner posts. Instead of setting the pipe in concrete we are driving them into the ground using the Kubota SSV75 and the Danuser Hammer.

    My neighbor has one he charges $60 an hour 😉 He did the posts in a 1/2 acre field in an hour, $60. Then he fixed my winter area, replaced a few posts charged me $40 🐸 great neighbor to have around. I hire him for a lot of things. He has a tractor with attachment for just about any thing, $60 per hour, and he loves it.
    Reminds me of back in the day with my dad and his farmer friends, they all helped each other.

    Those are cool.. We used one to drive 2 semi loads of 10ft long 6in and Red Top field fence to fence in 160 acres. It worked great, and I would have hated to have to hand dig all those holes. lol. And for T-post, you can use your tractors loader/bucket to push them into the ground. A friend of mine tack welded a piece of pipe 3 inches long onto the bottom of his bucket for the top of the T-posts to go into to hold them from slipping while it pushed them into the ground. It's 10 times faster than driving them by hand. He pulled a line and used spray paint to put a dot on the ground where each T-post was to go, and then I stood the posts up and he pushed them down with the bucket. Work smarter not harder. lol.

  • @kevinroberts9580
    @kevinroberts9580 5 років тому +8

    And once you get the fence done, it's going to look like it's been there for 10 years because there's no sign of the installation and digging of the holes. That is pretty awesome

    The United States runs out of fencing material as Arms Family Homestead builds the final fence section and achieves its life long goal of fencing every square inch of Oklahoma that is not fenced and fences off the border as well and also builds the world's largest maze and sells tickets and has food and building booths.

    My buddy has a Danuser Hammer that I have used. It will drive 6-8" flat bottom corner posts until you hit solid rock or run out of post (Here in N. Central WV, you're gonna hit rock). Sure beats the heck out of Shaver or similar style drivers! Great video!

  • @fosterlivestock449
    @fosterlivestock449 5 років тому +1

    These definitely save time. A friend of mine owns one that pulls behind pickup. Drove about 300 wood posts with it last year. Just not having to tamp post holes is well worth it.

  • @randy1160
    @randy1160 2 роки тому

    I have a Danuser LM40 on my Kubota M4 Tractor. It will drive up to 10” flat wooden posts and even t-posts. And you can add up to 200 pounds to the hammer to give it more force! Just push the t-post in. But if it’s dry, you can buy the t-post adapter to allow you to drive them. When driving wooden posts, drive the smaller ends into the ground so they get tighter as they get deeper. It’s different than digging them in, where you would want the larger end in the ground. The machine is a beast. It cost me $10,500 but it’s worth every penny!

    I wonder how well that would work here in Louisiana 🤔 out water table is so shallow we start hitting water about 2 feet down. The only benefit is that you can just drop the concrete in the hole and use the ground water to mix it 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️i know it'd work for metal pipe but im a fan of using the big round wood ones for corner post. My papaw loved railroad ties....you know how hard it is to get a railroad tie out of the ground thats been concreted in for 40+ years 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

    I tried everywhere in my state to rent one finally ended up buying one. For the people that say they won’t work I would say they probably will we drive 8 inch wood posts with a flat end into dry desert ground. It will work with the round rocks if you have a little bit of moisture in the ground it just pushes the rocks out-of-the-way. I don’t know how it will work with shale or flat rocks. You can’t use pointed wooden post as they tend to go crooked.Bottom line is they work a lot better than you think.

    @homewardpath4271 5 років тому

    The Hammer is a fine little tool. Those pipes almost slid into the dirt at your place before it started adding impact, but all the time saved as you described, using those old-fashioned holes and concrete is well worth giving up the healthy workout you'll be missing. As to the wooden post, I wondered about what all those impacts were going to do to the top end, but that could be easily lessened if you had a welder make a short cap like a heavy-duty manual driver without handles to slip on the top before you start driving to help reduce damage of the repeated impacts, then removed and used over and over or maybe as convenient, why not just allow for the extra needed and sacrifice a few inches of the top, then chop off the splintered segment with a chainsaw, with the added benefit of allowing adjustment/correction to the height of the top of the posts.
    It's things like this that stoke the fire behind me finding the chunk of dirt I need to get back on track and cut out all those #$%@ complicating what I want to do. Is this more than a Comment? Sorry.
