When I made the switch from the skid steer mounted driver to a one man tracked unit...... It's tough to convince a bunch of hard headed American fence builders that there is a much better way. Me included. A skid steer and driver are certainly an effective combo, but I do prefer being able to run alone if I need to.
Yes being able to work alone would be good. It takes two people with a skid steer driver
i had a dan user hammer driver. it had a claw that would pick up the posts and swing them under the driver. 1 man operation. I put in quite a bit of fence with it by myself. only bad thing I didn't like about that driver was that it hollered the hole out from moving the skid steer around. that heavy driver up high like that moves the machine around quite a bit. so the next year you'd have slightly lose posts.
The Danuser folks sent one over with a salesman for a demo..... I do believe that the Danuser driver has it's place with farmers, ranchers, and for the occasional fence job, but the salesman couldn't even get one straight and it was just way to inefficient for us to consider. I have a neighbor that bought one, and for what they needed, it's perfect. I build most of their fence, so they just needed to be able to skip a post in here and there on the old fences. I also think that the same style of driving mechanism, hung on a sliding mast similar to my machine, would be the ticket for the conditions I saw around Fence's place in TX. I just don't like all that it takes to stay right over a post with them mounted on a loader.
