Im looking to make an attachment for a post pounder to make the job a one man job . I was thinking of making some sorta guard/guide that would attach to the main vertical beam that the pounder rides up and down on. It would hing off the beam as to open and close to load a post into the pounder. The idea is to hold the post in the verticle postition thus eliminating the need for the labouer to stand holding posts, its a crappy job, not to many guys wanna do it, I was wondering if any one has tried to build some thing like this????? or know of a company that manufactures a post holder. not the dumb little handle things that are sold with the pounder, ive got all my hands on the controls, can't be holding the post too. I was thinking with my idea, I would use 1/4 inch steel, build an out side frame, cut down springs, something big off a swather or header but not too big like car springs. cut them down to 2-3" in height weld them too this frame then weld a plate onto them. If post hits a rock and bounces forward its going to bounce back, it would sorta be a post cushion. Any way im just looking to get a few more thoughts on this???????????? Thanxs :-)
