Ok how to do this

Been working on a 3 point post driver for a friend. Well he wants it set up so he can sit on the tractor after he loads the post in and drive it by him self. But all hyd. controls are on the tractor so he can't be by the driver and on the tractor at the same time. Is there any thing that will hold a post in to the driver so he can do what he wants?? Its one of those that the cylinder lifts up a weight and then when it goes up so far drops it down?
Thanks

Rich, I have driven thousands of post, and just don't think this is a good idea. Post drivers are dangerous. Still have to stand up the post and place it in the driver, so why not just drive it. It is hard to do without a tractor driver regardless. All drivers I ever seen had controls right on the side of the driver.

two thoughts - 1 hold the post in place with bungie cords until they are started -lot of getting on and off 2 move hydraulic controls to the post driver itself and once the tractor is set then it should be easier for one man to do the work. we use to use a 350c jd loader with a bucket full of dirt to drive anything we wanted to with it.

Hi Old , I'm guessing that the driver doesn't have bonnet ( cap ) for the post . So maybe you could weld some rings or something on the sides so they don't interfere with the weight slide/guides to hold a chain that could be wrapped around the post to hold it till the first drop . Just a thought but I doubt that would work if the guides are wider than the post being driven . Otherwise it's a matter of building a bonnet or a device that uses a cage and/or a strap type retainer that slides on the same guides as the weight and is adjustable to the size of post being driven . All these ideas are derived from years of driving bridge piling with a drop hammer and a crane . Never have used a tractor mounted one but have seen a few in use . The idea seems to be the same just on a MUCH smaller scale . Good luck ! ...Randy
