probably too far, South Devon. The knocker takes a bit of getting used to, its easy for the post to lean a bit. the auger is a good tool to but would require back filing and tamping by hand.

Handy setup being able to tow that around- what height post can you fit under the hammer. If you put an 8ft strainer under how much height is left for the hammer to fall?

Hi all,

 

I'm currently pricing 200m of nailed post and rail, not something we normally do but is part of a bigger job. I was wondering if anybody knew of someone who hires a post knocker for a Avant in the West Sussex/Surrey/Hampshire area?

 

Cheers,

Sean

Would it be worth just getting a contractor in with a tractor and rammer- he could knock the stakes in leaving you to do the rest? Probably a days work to knock in 100 posts for p&r.

Do you find it difficult with out left to right tilt on thumper and what weight is fitted.

Presumably you could just lift the boom and get all the height you need. It looks fairly stable.
