Three different series are available, series 1, 2, and 3, and all units have side to side and front to back angling (angling is manual on Series 1, optional hydraulic angle kits listed below).

King Hitter Series 1 Post Driver, Shown With Optional Side Mount, Three Point Hitch Center Mount Is Standard

Hydraulic connection to your tractor or skid steer loader is easier on the Kinghitter models than other post drivers. The King Hitter Post Drivers connect to the pressure line and return line of your auxillary hydraulic outlet with no special return line connection required. The hammer weight gets its force by free fall of the weight only. To operate the driver, pull on the lever on on the valve of the post driver to raise the hammer, and then release the lever into the neutral position to drop the hammer.

Series 1 fence post driver will drive a post up to 9 ft. tall x 8 inches in diameter.

The larger series 2, and 3 models have several accessories available for them including a rock spike auger unit to auger a pilot hole for driving posts in rocky soil, or a rock spike that is driven in to make a pilot hole in rocky soil (see our index). Series 2 and 3 drivers will drive posts either 10 ft. tall and 12 inches in diameter (models with 12 ft. 6 inch mast), or 14 ft. tall posts and 12 inches in diameter (models with 16 ft. tall beam). The series 1 driver is shown on this page; for series 2 click the next button at the bottom of the page or go to the table of contents, series 3 is also listed in the table of contents.
