    Don't know, they look pretty similar to the Wheatheart pounders made in Saskatchewan that we use. Only complaint I have with the Wheatheart is it doesn't push the posts as far into the ground as I want. Leaves an extra foot above ground over top of single or double strand electric that is wasted.

    Thought you Aussies would all be using that fancy home produced one - google the U-tube for Dingo Fencing Machine IV

      think these come in cheaper than aussie made ones and smaller kinda more portable.

      pounder can only be used here on some soil to stony have to pay $10 per hole to get drilled by air/percussion

        Was the same in Scotland - the pounders are Ok for the easy holes.

          I have no idea what a pounder is worth but what about getting a wheel loader or hoe for pushing posts instead? Much more versatile for other projects and height can be anything. Nothing like hearing the post “squeal “ going into our dry clay.

          Our hoe was $24k and still earns its keep every year digging silage pits, water lines, dugouts, etc...

            Wheathearts are stupid money - about $16k new, $9k for beat up ex-Flaman ones. We just hire them by the day - $80 or so.
