We have a Shaver HD8 with a 3-point hitch mounting configuration. We run it with our 3020 John Deere. We've found it works best to have two people run it: one to stay in the tractor seat (and be guided where to park), and the other to operate the pounder. It can take awhile to get things lined up and plumb, but it does do a nice job. The biggest posts I've driven were about 7-1/2 to 8 diameter. Anything bigger in diameter won't fit the HD8. The glaciers were very generous to us in western MN/eastern SD, so I can't honestly say that rocks won't bother. I've only ever driven pointed posts, and I haven't tried to drive through really dry soil. I'm used to driving 100-125 4 x 7' pointed wooden posts into an existing fence with an 18# maul each year, but if there is a long stretch of new fence to build, and the land lays fairly level, we'll hitch up the pounder. Make sure the valve matches your tractor hydraulic system in regards to open or closed center operation (the correct fitting has to be present in the valve, and will likely be stamped cc or oc to indicate that).

The discussion started out with the following post: " I am in the market for an older tractor (to be read... cheap). I have been told a diesel holds up better than a gasoline engine as far a wear, tear, neglect and abuse. Since I am looking at older tractors that have probably been through it all, is it better to buy diesel? I do expect to have to do a good bit of work on
