Description

Meet the PDX-1000 Excavator Post Driver 

Designed for mini excavators, the PDX-1000 leverages a nitrogen-charged power cell compressed by your machine’s hydraulics to deliver a reliable 1000 ft-lb of energy per actuation—ideal for driving posts into almost any soil condition. The power cell is protected by a heavy-duty housing and rubber isolators that minimize vibration for consistent performance. Its exclusive 15-degree tilting mechanism, managed via hydraulic control valves, allows for smooth post placement on slopes and uneven terrain.

With the driver body positioned two feet closer to the machine than typical models, you gain enhanced down force, maneuverability, and visibility. The attachment comes standard with a versatile post guide housing array for 2”, 4”, 6”, or 8” posts (removable for posts exceeding 9”) and is complemented by a range of post driving tools—domed or flat driver heads and a 5-ft breaker spike—all built from high tensile strength tool steel. Engineered to withstand the rigors of professional fence installation, the PDX-1000 delivers dependable, heavy-duty performance on your mini excavator.

    We purchased this post pounder for our apple orchard. I remember asking Nate a couple times, "will it be powerful enough for my rocky soil?". Nates response was "yes, no problem!".

    I can confirm that it is more than powerful! It drives 5"-6" posts five feet down without an issue! I am very pleased with this pounder and it is built very strong! The staff is very friendly and they were always helpful with any questions i had. Highly recommended!

    We use the driver on our Kubota KX 040-4 excavator, and it is simple to use and drives the posts much faster than our 3-point tractor mounted driver. It is very easy to line up the posts with the excavator, and I think overall it is more than twice as fast getting post in the ground than our tractor mounted driver. The 4-ton excavator is perhaps a little on the light side, but with the blade down the machine is stable. I definitely would not use a smaller excavator with this driver.
