Skid Steer Post Drivers

A skid steer post driver turns fence building from a two-person, all-day job into something one operator can finish before lunch. These attachments use your machine's auxiliary hydraulics to drive wood posts, T-posts, guard rail, and sign posts straight into the ground — no pre-drilling, no concrete, no hole to backfill. The decisions that matter are drive style and flow. Vibratory post pounders set posts quickly in soft to moderate ground, while impact-style drivers deliver more energy per blow for hard, rocky, or frozen conditions. Most mount to the universal quick-attach plate and run on 12 to 20 GPM. When the ground is too hard to drive, an auger is the better tool.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a skid steer post driver?

A skid steer post driver is a hydraulic attachment that mounts to your machine’s quick-attach plate and drives posts directly into the ground using repeated downward
force. It handles wood posts, T-posts, guard rail, and sign posts without pre-drilling or concrete. One operator can set posts from the cab, which is why fencing
contractors run them instead of manual drivers or post hole diggers.

How much hydraulic flow does a post driver need?

Most skid steer post drivers run on standard auxiliary flow, typically 12 to 20 GPM, so the majority of full-size skid steers can power one without a high-flow package.
Check your machine’s auxiliary GPM in the operator’s manual and compare it against the driver’s rated range, since running below the minimum costs you driving
energy per blow. Send us your model and we will confirm the match.

Will a post driver work in hard or rocky ground?

Up to a point. Impact-style drivers deliver more energy per blow and handle hard, frozen, or rocky conditions better than vibratory post pounders. But if you are hitting
solid rock or caliche, driving will damage post tops and stress the attachment, and an auger with a rock bit becomes the right tool. Many contractors keep both and
choose based on the soil. Tell us your ground conditions and we will recommend a driver.

Can a post driver pull posts as well as drive them?

Many can, with the right option. Several models in this collection include a post puller chain that lets you extract old or misdriven posts using the same attachment.
That is genuinely useful on repair and replacement work, where you are removing about as many posts as you are setting. Post pullers are usually specified at order
time, so check the listing or ask us before you buy.

What size posts can a skid steer post driver handle?

That depends on the driver’s head and mast. Most units in this collection handle T-posts through wood posts in roughly the 4 to 8 inch diameter range, with guard rail
posts on the larger models. Dome-shaped heads help center the post and keep the top from mushrooming as it drives. If you are setting oversized corner posts or
braces, confirm the head opening and mast height before ordering.
