Otherwise, features added to the bog-basic post driver are all aimed at speeding up the job ormaking it easier, mainly by providing hydraulic adjustments to accurately position the mast without having to repeatedly re-position the tractor.Īt the top end, the range of adjustments available is remarkable – sideshift and backshift to position the mast perfectly two- or four-way mast angle adjustment to get a post upright when the tractor is sitting on a dramatic slope and slew adjustment of the entire machine to work in different positions or to edge the mast into an awkward corner beside an existing fence or wall behind a tree. The job is still not fool proof but machine designs and special attachments that allow posts to be driven in upright while keeping the operator well clear of a falling heavy weight can only be a good thing. Some developments are aimed fairly and squarely at safety and a good thing too, because driving in fence posts has caused too many injuries and deaths over the years through risky operating procedures or inattention. For a job as seemingly simple as knocking in a fence post, there is a remarkable number of features, options, adjustments and accessories to be found on what was once the humble ‘post knocker’.
