Mini Skid Steer Post Drivers

A mini skid steer post driver brings fence building into places a full-size machine cannot go: narrow corridors, established yards, wooded lots, and anywhere the gate is the limiting dimension. The compact carrier is the whole point, so match the driver to the machine rather than assuming a scaled-down version of a full-size unit will work. Energy per blow is lower than a full-size driver delivers, which means soft to moderate ground and standard fence posts rather than guard rail or frozen hardpan. Self-contained models carry their own power pack, which matters on mini loaders with limited hydraulic output. For larger posts and harder ground, our full-size post drivers deliver more.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can a mini skid steer post driver actually handle?


Standard wood posts and T-posts in soft to moderate ground is the realistic envelope. A compact carrier limits both the weight available to hold the tool down and the hydraulic power driving it, so energy per blow is lower than a full-size unit delivers. Guard rail posts, oversized corner posts, and frozen or rocky ground need a bigger machine.


What is a self-contained post driver?


It carries its own hydraulic power pack rather than drawing from the carrier, which means it can deliver useful driving energy on machines whose auxiliary output
would otherwise be marginal. That makes it a practical option on smaller mini loaders and on tractors without adequate hydraulics. The tradeoff is added weight and another engine to maintain.

Does a mini post driver need auxiliary hydraulics?


Standard hydraulic models do, and mini loaders vary far more in auxiliary output than full-size skid steers, so this is worth checking first rather than assuming. Models carrying their own power pack are the exception, since they supply it themselves. Check your machine's rated flow in the operator's manual and we will confirm which style suits it.

Is a mini driver worth it over driving posts by hand?


For more than a handful of posts, comfortably yes. A manual driver is slow, physically punishing, and produces inconsistent depth. The mini attachment sets posts
plumb and to consistent depth from the seat, and it gets into yards and wooded sites where a full-size machine cannot follow. The case is weakest if you only set a few posts a year.


Will a mini post driver fit my machine?


Most use the universal mini quick-attach mount, which fits the large majority of compact loaders regardless of who built them. Mini mounting plates are less
standardized than full-size skid steer plates, so confirming is worthwhile rather than assuming. Send us your make, model, and auxiliary flow and we will verify both the mount and the hydraulic match.
