Kinghitter Post Driver Selection Guide
Here is a quick guide to help you go through the process of selecting the best Kinghitter post driver for your requirements. Ultimately, there are two main factors that dictate these choices – your budget, and the substrate you are fencing on. As an example, if you are constructing farm fences in Canterbury, you are going to need a Rock Spike. If you are fencing on hard pan, you will need an auger. However, in a lot of areas like Waikato, the Series 1 400 with a 230 kg hammer will handle all farm fencing, even strainers.
So, the selection process really starts with the accessories you need to efficiently install fence posts. Then look at the different base options, as well as a suitable mast and hammer combination. The bottom line is you need to be able to build straight fences safely and quickly, fence smarter, not harder, put more posts in every day with minimal downtime. There is a more thorough guide after the links below.
