I have a Shaver HD-14 driver. I am not sure they make it anymore but it is the largest they made at the time. I routinely drive railroad ties without doing anything to them. Square end right down into the ground.
On large round post like yours I have found that if you sharpen them to a point they will drive crooked. You never get the angles exactly the same on each side.

They make an attachment to to newer Shaver drivers that swings a small hydraulic drive post hole auger right under the driver. So you drill a small 4 inch hole and then drive the post down into it. This works great.
I usually use a hand twist digger that digs a 6 inch hole on corner post. Then drive the corner post down into the hole. They drive straight that way.
