Matt on the Moors Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 I just can't seem to shake this idea. I currently have a tractor and postknocker- tractors sole purpose is to run the knocker- I'm only fencing 50% of the time with half of this done with my digger and knocker anyway- which leaves the tractor and knocker sitting in the yard 75% of the time. I really could do with a wheeled digger go stone walling work I do and invisage selling the tractor to fund it- could I mount the post knocker on the wheeled digger instead? Not on the arm but by removing the 4in1 bucket and hitching it onto the loader instead- knocker only weighs 900kg or so so probably not much more than a 4 in 1 bucket. Thoughts please! The only real downside I can think of is poor in soft ground- but I have a tracked mini digger for that any way. Could be handy having the digging arm for pulling out old fences/grading lines and with the knocker mounted on the loader I can lift it onto bankings etc??

Ringfencing Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Sounds like a good idea can't think of any big down sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt on the Moors Posted June 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Yes, in theory it seems to tick the boxes- but could be missing something as I haven't seen it done. Could be useful as the arm on the back can swing either way and out to counter the knocker on side slopes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Fork Fence Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 I sold one of my old drivers a few months ago.....He mounted it on the loader of his tractor, and is quite happy with it. We had it rigged on a skid steer loader, and always got along fine with it as well. It sounds like your plan would serve your situation well.
