T-post driver for rent???

[8pointer]

Does anyone know where I can rent a gas powered T-post driver for rent near San Angelo?? We are putting up 3 feeder pens this weekend and I'm kinda dreading the thought of driving 60 t-posts in the rocky ground!!

Its a little expensive but out at my old Uvalde lease there were some pens made of hog panels that had 3/4" or 1" square tubing welded to the outside. They were wired together and self supporting in a circle so didn't require T-posts.

Not sure about gas powered but most of the equipment rental places out there rent air driven drivers and rent the big air compressors to run them.

Lol, these are the only ones i know how to use, unfortunentaly they can become dangerous as fluid levels increase

Best bet is tractor with bucket do make it an easy job

This ^^^^ If I ever have to build any I will be going this route. Little more money up front, but easy set up and take down.

I have a 3-4" plate of rock about 4" deep at our place just north of San Angelo. Driving a t-post through it was not an option. I rented a rock drill which runs off of a big trailer mounted diesel powered compressor. I think the bit was 2 3/8 inch. Made very fast work of putting in about 100+ posts. Rented from Roberson Rent-All.

We use the forks on a bobcat. Depending on how close you are to a rental place I would go this route

Same thing I did at our place in Kerr County, used the drill and then a air driver as well.... Only way to go in rocky terrain!!

I did a construction job southwest of San Angelo at Barnhart. We rented an air powered driver to build the fence around the site. In the process, we broke several t-posts and some only made it a few inches before stopping. I would think about the drill as posted above.

Stop by the local day worker hang out and pick up a couple of day workers. For a couple of hundred buck you wont even have to break a sweat.

@TxNurse, how deep of a hole can you make with the rock drill. I have a place in Starr County that I have to set a temp pole for light but I've rock at the surface and the utility company want the pole 5 foot in the ground, ouch!!!!!

The drill looks like a Jackhammer. Don't know if they make an extension to add on as you go down to get more depth.
