Description
Bradco / Paladin built
Posts to 10 ft / 8" dia
24 GPM max, 2,000 PSI min
Overview
This Bradco skid steer post driver — the PD4800 — drives posts up to 10 feet long and 8 inches in diameter, round or square, from a skid steer or compact track loader quick attach. It operates off the machine's own hydraulics at a minimum of 2,000 PSI and a maximum of 24 GPM, and weighs 1,360 lbs. Manual side shift lets you line up the next post without repositioning the loader.
Key Features of the Bradco Skid Steer Post Driver
- Drives posts up to 10 ft long and 8" in diameter, round or square.
- Operates off skid steer hydraulics — no separate power pack.
- Manual side shift for lining up a post without moving the machine.
- Post collar changes from smaller to larger in a matter of minutes, so mixed-diameter runs are practical.
- Does not mushroom posts — the head does not deform the post top the way a striking plate can.
- No shock load back to the skid steer, which protects the loader as well as the operator.
- Optional striker plates to match post shape, and a hydraulic post driver for skid steer loaders means the same machine sets the post and carries the next one.
- A skid steer post driver attachment built for production fencing, not an occasional-use hydraulic post pounder.
- Works as a fence post driver attachment on agricultural runs and equally on sign and guard rail posts.
Why Choose This Skid Steer Post Driver
- Driving beats augering on most fence lines. A driven post is tighter in the ground than a backfilled one, and there is no concrete and no cure time.
- The no-mushroom claim is the one that matters over a long run. A deformed post top means a cap that will not seat and a post that is harder to extract later.
- Side shift is a productivity feature, not a convenience. On a fence line, repositioning the loader for every post is most of the time cost.

Driving Posts or Digging Holes?
A post driver and an auger solve the same problem differently. Driving is faster and produces a tighter post with no concrete, but it needs ground the post will enter. Where the ground is rock, augering and concreting is the alternative: the Pengo Aggressor auger drills the hole, and the BoRH bolt-on rock head converts that auger for rock. Clearing the line first is a job for the Ground Shark brush cutter.

PD4800 Post Driver Questions, Answered
What size posts will it drive?
Up to 10 feet in length and 8 inches in diameter, round or square.
Will it damage the top of the post?
Bradco states it does not mushroom posts. Optional striker plates are available to match the post shape, which further protects the top.
Does it shock-load the loader?
Bradco states there is no shock load back to the skid steer. That protects the loader mounting as well as the operator.
Can I drive different post sizes on the same job?
Yes. The post collar changes from a smaller size to a larger one in a matter of minutes, so mixed runs are practical.
What hydraulics does it need?
A minimum of 2,000 PSI and no more than 24 GPM. It runs off the loader hydraulics with no separate power source.
Is a post driver skid steer setup faster than augering?
On ground the post will enter, considerably — there is no hole to dig, no concrete and no cure time. Where the ground is rock, augering and concreting is the alternative.
