The new Safety Arm Post Holder Attachment is now standard on all post drivers and is available to purchase to retro-fit to older models. Holds and centers the post in the post driver's main channel so you don't have to hold it in place by hand. This attachment fits on all models (HD8, HD10, and HD12). The Safety Arm Attachment fits all Shaver Model Post Drivers and is easy to attach. The unit bolts to the back of the Driving Ram with 2 Bolts provided. The spring-loaded attachment holds the post in the Driving Ram securely to keep the operator away from the impact area and helps the operator drive a straighter post from start to finish.
The Safety Arm Attachment is very easy to operate. Just open the unit, place the post in the Driving Ram and close the Arm to secure the post. It’s that simple. The adjustable Roller Assembly allows the operator to keep the Arm at its desired tension during operation.
Complete units consist of post driver ordered with either manual base plate or with hydraulic base plate, and mounting kit, plus any accessories.
If you have mostly flat ground, then the manual base plate with handles for adjusting angle to square up post driver to ground may be what you want. If you have ground with lots of hills, then you should order the post driver with hydraulic base plate and stand.
The rear mount base plate mounts on your tractor's category 1 or 2 three point hitch for this model. The front mounting kit is specific to your tractor and we will need to know the make and model of tractor (front kits available for most tractors). If you ordera front mount kit, keep in mind you may have to run extra hydraulic hose to front of tractor if you don't have a front hydraulic outlet.
The skid steer mounting package allows you to mount the post driver to the arms on your skid steer loader. There is a mounting kit for skid steer loaders that have a plastic fluid reservoir tank, and a mounting kit for skid steer loaders with a steel reservoir tank. You can use the plastic tank kit on all skid steer loaders however and it gives you convenience of operation that you may want.
Information On The Skid Steer Mounting Package For Skid Steer Loaders With Plastic Hydraulic Reservoir Tanks: The skid steer mounting package for skid steer loaders with plastic tanks consists of several different pieces. The main components are high pressure braided hoses, quick couplers, some grommets and bushings, and a flow divider. This mounting/by pass kit was recommended by New Holland for all their skid steers and was engineered for those requirements. This mounting kit is
recommended for all skid steer loaders with plastic reservoir tanks to prevent tank rupture caused by the return of the hydraulic fluid into the tank when using the post driver.
Also available is the Self-Contained Skid Steer Mounting Packages. If you have an old skid steer or tractor with low capacity hydraulics, you can order this unit with its own pump and reservoir. You would also want this self-contained model if you want to mount this on several different loaders (construction companies or rental stores, or anyone with several different loaders they want to use); with this unit you can mount it in a couple of minutes, and the oil is self-contained in its own reservoir.
The post driver's return line usually goes back into the reservoir filler cap. You need as much return flow into the reservoir as possible because the hydraulic cylinder extends out raising the hammer and stretching the return springs; then you press in on the valve dropping the hammer. The fluid comes out of the cylinder through the return line. This line is 1 inch in diameter so you can get enough flow. We recommend a 1 inch fitting if possible. The smallest we recommend is 3/4 inches to get enough flow through the return line. A return line adapter is required to attach the return line hose back into your hydraulic reservoir. Specific return line adapter fittings are available for most tractor models; let us know the specific tractor or skid steer loader you have and you will get the correct fitting.
Hydraulic requirements are 3-4 gpm at 1500 psi (If your system doesn't meet these requirements, see the self-contained mounting kits below)
