Is there a driver attachment that will drive tee posts? No rocks to worry about just I am old and don't want to drive the 100s I have to do by hand. thanks

you could bodge a $400 gas powered(GP) tpost driver to the SSQA
my limit is 8 using a 'steel tube driver'.
If I had 100s, I'd hire 2 young lads to do it,with GP driver of course..
you really need 2 sets of hands ,otherwise a lifetime project.....

I chain a manual t-post driver (about $75) to the frame of my pallet forks.
Then with my forks I pick up a mini 1/2 pallet that I throw a few hundred pounds of sand bags onto. (we have tonnes of sand in our area and well used feed bags are just a nuisance anyways)
this pushes hundreds of HD t-posts into our garden beds every year flawlessly to depths of 4' or so well passed what the rototiller has kept soft over the years.
we also have no rocks in or area.
Do you have an FEL with a 3rd function? If so you might be able to find a hydraulically driven T post driver.
I like the push it with pallet forks idea if there’s no rocks.
Regardless, having another person is going to make it much nicer or you’ll spend most of your time climbing on and off the tractor. If you can find someone actually willing to work, hire them to help.

The Danuser T3 looks pretty nice.

years ago I drove a few hundred with the bucket of the 7510 I had at the time.
We used C clamps to hold a piece of wood under the bucket. One guy held the post level and I pounded them down with the bucket.
It worked well. Every so often we changed out the piece of wood.

Does the BX have the flow for this?
Only info I saw was "up to" 30 gpm.
People say the BX doesn't have enough flow to run the SA10 post hole auger, which it does.
That seems like it would require a lot more flow though?
That’s a pretty neat T post driver. A bit spendy. Looks like it has a hydro motor that lifts the ram and compresses a spring which releases imparting 40 ft-lbs of energy with each blow.
Specs say at 15 gpm it will do 6 blows per second and slower with lessor flow. That seems crazy fast to me. The T post would always be moving, almost like being vibrated into the ground. I’m think it’d penetrate some serious hard ground to the point the strength of the T post would likely dictate what could be penetrated.
Here’s the specs:

My new BH ripper and thumb will pull T-posts and drive them...I just need more practice to get them in line and plumb ;-)

Well, that is a way to do it.. Not sure a chain and 1.5 ft of slop would be my first choice. But it did work.

Curious was I, and I have that red pounder !
Unless you have 2 or more, pounding in Tposts on a tractor will be slow.
Don't matter if it's a $50 manual pounder, $400 gasser bolted to bucket, or a $4,000 SSQA version.
It's mostly in the setup, getting the post, put post where it's to go, keeping it vertical, 'push is easy'.
I can't think of anyway ONE person can be fast doing this but would love to see a video .
