Product Summary

This Powerhorse Gasoline Post Pounder with 30-Lb. Driving Head is a powerful, portable self-contained post-driving solution with commercial capabilities. Powered by a 1.18 HP, 4-stroke engine that delivers 2,200 beats per minute. The post driver comes with 3 sleeves including 1.8in., 2.2in. and 3.5in. adapters. The engine meets the latest EPA emission. Assembled and serviced in the U.S.A. Not available for sale in California. NOTE: This post driver is designed for use on steel posts or pipe with a 1.8in. or 2.2in. dia. Hollow steel pipes exceeding 2.2in. dia. should be used in conjunction with our 3.5in. adapter for enhanced efficiency, performance and convenience. For solid pipes exceeding 2.2in. dia., we recommend using a larger post driver such as the 47-lb. Powerhorse post pounder (Item# 5849345, sold separately).
