Comparison 5600 with post driver/pounder

[Trebsdub]

Hello all. Thinking on putting my shaver post pounder/driver on my toolcat. Has anyone used one on their toolcat and if so how did it work? Dont know if it will have a sheer weight to do it and want to make sure it will work without damaging my 2019 unit since I just bought a new one after having 2 older ones in the past. Thanks

I rented a post driver last summer and drove probably 75 or so 5 inch diameter posts. It the Toolcat would have a vertical lift path would have mad it work a little better. I was by myself and I had a few post leaning a little . I needed to back up some as post drove down. The one I rented was a Bradco. Work well enough for my I’m thinking of buying a Danuser.

I was wondering about the arc the loader takes and how it hinders driving posts. I wonder if a hanging chain near the post to act as a plumb bob would help SEE the situation better.

Not best video. Poubing 5” post with Toolcat 5610 and Bradco driver. Can see everything jarred when pounder hit end of stroke and I had to drop it lower.
