Better post pounding
Worksaver post drivers now feature patented slide blocks which improve the driver’s performance and increase its life.
The self-lubricating slide blocks provide a large contact surface that guides the driving ram in the main carriage, eliminating wear problems associated with rollers. The blocks also help maintain a solid down force for straighter post alignment. The machines will drive wood or steel posts.

VIDEO: Ag in Motion documentary launches second season
The second season of the the Western Producer’s documentary series about Ag in Motion launched Oct. 8.
Goodyear’s new DT800 “veggie” farm tires elevate tractors so they can operate over tall-growing crops. The tall and narrow tires are designed to help improve cultivation by letting farmers work maturing crops and by increasing the number of rows that can be planted. Fertilizing and spraying are easier. The core of the tire is a tough fabric casing in radial configuration, with four belts for strength and durability. The tire features a deeper tread than most conventional tires to assure traction in wet conditions. The DT800 is available in sizes 320/90R46 and 320/90R50.
