[QUOTE="fence_it, post: 1547122, member: 30068"] I find it hard to use an H-beam driver having used the Kinghitter. It is so much easier on the operater, hits harder, and is much easier to get posts level. The independent post cap controlling the post is genius, I don't know why American manufacturers haven't caught on to this. Plus you get the option of a rock spike, really a must in the variable ground conditions around here. We have the 16' model which will drive 14' posts, but they make it in a 12' which will do 10' posts. Folding mast of course but the 12' is supposedly much easier to maneuver and cart around. We will still be using our side mount Shaver for the small acreage jobs, just because it is so easy to maneuver and can get into tight places (between trees, next to buildings, etc.) that a 16' Kinghitter and 70hp tractor can't. The Kinghitter will be reserved for larger jobs and deer fence. Currently working on fabricating a t-post holder for it. I wouldn't buy a Kinghitter new though, I believe they run about 25-30k. We picked this one up because it was local, and cheap. If your after a new 3pt driver, I heard there's some guy around here who is a Protech dealer. There pretty comparable. Or used Kinghitter's do pop up from time to time, I know a fella in Nebraska who may have one he would part with, or there is one in Wisconsin on Craigslist. [/QUOTE]
