i got to try out the driver i bought at a estate sale its the type that automatically trips itself when the weight gets so far up the slide it pulls out a pin letting it fall.i drove a 3in locust post pretty easy but i have some locust up to 8in dont know how it will do with those thought about cutting like a point on the bottom of each one with the chainsaw would have to help i would think. anyone got any better tips doing this. THANKS RICK

In the west where its drier posts are routinely pointed for driving but only done in the east when its almost too dry. If its wet enough to drive posts easy they don't need to be pointed; professors say they make a point of dirt under themselves.

In my youth we used 100"s of split locust fence posts, making a starter hole with a long heavy bar, and then driving the post in with a 13-16 pound post maul, all of those posts had the bottom end pointed. If it was not pointed all of the da**d rocks would have stopped the post from driving down.
