Skid Steer Post Driver

Skid steer post drivers often use nitrogen gas as a power source for their hydraulic systems. The hydraulic system drives the post driver attachment and delivers the force needed to push fence posts or similar objects into the ground. Nitrogen is chosen for specific reasons:

• Consistent Pressure: Nitrogen provides a stable and consistent pressure, which is crucial for the reliable and precise operation of hydraulic systems. It helps maintain a constant force when driving posts, ensuring consistent performance.

• Inert Properties: Nitrogen is an inert gas, that doesn’t react easily with other substances. This quality helps maintain the cleanliness and efficiency of the hydraulic system over time.

• No Moisture Content: Nitrogen is dry and lacks moisture content, reducing the risk of corrosion within the hydraulic components. This helps prolong the lifespan of the equipment.

• Wide Temperature Range: Nitrogen maintains its properties over a broad temperature range, making it suitable for various working conditions. This is important for skid steer post drivers operating in different environments.

Safety: Nitrogen is non-flammable and non-toxic, enhancing the safety of the hydraulic system. It is commonly used in hydraulic accumulators, storing hydraulic energy for immediate use.

The motor rating of our skid loader post driver is in 11-18 GPM range. However, we ran the skid steer post-driver attachment on a Kubota SVL95, which is a large high flow machine. The key to running on larger machines is to keep your RPMs at about a quarter of full capacity. This controls the flow of the hydraulics and keeps the GPM lower.

The force output of a post driver varies by model. However, Skid Pro’s hydraulic post drivers are designed to deliver exceptional driving power that enables them to easily and effectively drive posts into various terrains.

A skid steer post driver uses hydraulic power to deliver rapid, high-impact blows to the post. When attached to a skid steer, the driver utilizes the machine’s hydraulic system to generate force, allowing it to pound posts into the ground quickly and efficiently.

If you frequently install fencing or posts, a post driver helps save time and efforts. It ensures precise and quick installation, making it a valuable tool for contractors, farmers, and developers looking for heavy-duty performance.
