Tool installs, removes steel posts FENCING Tools 10-4-32 You can make fence building a lot easier with the new "Post Setter" from Hay Van Mfg. that uses your tractor's hydraulics to install and remove steel "T" posts.
The tool attaches to the tractor with the bottom fitting on the tractor drawbar and the top to the 3-pt. top link. To push in a post, you manually clamp the tool's eccentric latch onto the post, positioning it over one of the wire-fastening pegs. Then, by extending the hydraulic cylinder arm, the post is pushed into the ground. To remove a post, you position the latch near the bottom of the post and retract the cylinder.
"It works best to have two people working with the Post Setter. One to drive the tractor along the fence row and the second to work the steel posts and Post Setter," explains a company spokesman.
With its special pivoting linkage, and by swinging the tractor drawbar, the Post Setter can set posts straight up and down ù even on sidehills. It takes one to two strokes of the cylinder to install a post. You can use an 8, 10 or 12-in. hydraulic cylinder.
Post Setter sells for $219, without the cylinder.
