The driving ram / i-beam is 9" wide on the inside and can therefore easily hold an 8.75" post. The "hammerhead" that actually strikes the top of the post, is a 9" x 7" rounded rectangle. A rubber debris guard hangs down along the longer edge, just 7" from the back surface of the i-beam channel.
There is no problem if the top of the post is less than 7", but an 8" or larger post strikes the rubber guard more often than not, and it is rapidly destroyed.
An obvious fix would be to move the debris guard bracket outward another 2".
Is this worth the effort, or is there a better solution? I'm inclined to just use it, shredded to bits as it is.
Any comments would be appreciated.
