post pounder post driver homemade dig bar

I think they were orignally designed for similar posts, what the Yanks call T-posts. Clipex is good stuff, I do a fair bit of it. They've taken some time to get the UK products up to scratch, but are getting there now. Had many problems with mis-spaced slots, galvanising tolerances and the like.

I bought a petrol driver for Clipex, but on chalky ground it's no use. Even after pilot drilling with a 1m long 22mm SDS drill, it struggles and it's quicker to use a mandraulic driver. Just not enough weight.

I've just bought an Atlas Copco LPD-T,. weighs in at 33kg, so should be much better, might even do scaffold poles into chalk also. Fingers crossed- it's due sometime this week.

I already do... think my staff could use the exercise though!

I'm sure they'll prefer it to mandraulic, regardless! Shouldn't be too hard, pop it on the post whilst the post is on the ground and then walk it up.

thanks for the right suggestions, unfortunately the old machines of my father we gave them away, we will have to do as our grandparents, manual tools and sweat fatigue, elbow grease, thanks for the right suggestions, the farm we are arranging is in a desolate place without electricity, we must bring everything we need to do the work we have no comfort. we have to make do with what we have, like mecgiver, the mechanical shovels for the big jobs we rent them when needed, thanks for the right suggestions
