with a few people you can put posts around an acre lot in a couple days. Just have the brush cleared and the holes marked with orange paint. Have each post by the hole and put it in as soon as the hole is punched so you don't get debris blocking it later.

Two people to handle the hammer (its heavy and with two it is more accurate), one to handle the hose, and one or two to pound the post in with a single jack or sledge. Have beer ready when pau!

Be sure to have plenty hose!

worth its weight in gold .... faster than one may think if you keep your back into it..... an o o bar and jackhammer (cheapo) will do a 15 ft diameter by 3 foot deep in a day.... got advil?

[lavalava]

15ft? thats one heck of a post!

[ericlp]

sounds like a swimming pool. Hmmmm... Did you get free shipping on it? Must of taken a few months for it to arrive?

[sputnut]

It doesn't look like it will go very deep, unless you make the hole bigger, in which case, you need more lava.(or concrete)

comin' your way soon!

[Bullwinkle]

looks are deceiving -

paid more for shipping than the cost of the machine - grin

good value for chinese junk - ive gotten 5yrs out of it - came w/ extra brushes for the motor

got one off amazon, private seller.

Item(s) Subtotal: $133.00
Shipping & Handling: $34.49

Figured it was too good of a deal to pass up for shipping to pahoa. Hopefully I'll get 2-3 years out of it. Want to dig some tree holes + fence post holes.
