I have two Shaver post pounders. The one is tractor mounted and the other is for the skid steer. I have two sets of brackets for the tractor mounted one: three point and front frame mounted. The three point mounted one is not near as stable as the frame mounted one. It really does not put much weight/force when driving your post. The energy is all in the weight/drive head. So there is not really that much force transferred to the lift links then. It would be much less than a three point plow. Where I found the three point mount to be lacking was when you where moving the tractor around. You need good stabilizers on the lift arms. The driver is heavy and has a tall center of gravity. IF your three point linkage,on the tractor,has much wear the driver can really flop around when your moving post to post. This is really true on slops/side hills. I also found the rear mount on the tractor to be limiting in using the pounder on existing fence. You have to be at a 90 degree angle to drive a post up against a current fence. Then the tires make you not have much of a work area. So I took the quick mount bracket for a JD FM cultivator and made it fit the driver. So I have the ease of mounting but the convenience of a front mounted driver. Then about the time I made the mount I found a JD 3020 gas narrow front tractor and the driver is rarely off the tractor. LOL
Truthfully the tractor one does not get used near as much as the skid steer mounted one any more.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
