Appl. No.:

16/816837

Inventors:

- West Fargo ND, US
Brian Dehnert - Mandan ND, US
Patrick Link - Bismarck ND, US

International Classification:

E02D 7/10
E02F 3/06
E04H 17/26

Abstract:

Disclosed embodiments include post driving implements which attach to a power machine such as a loader in order to pick up posts of various sizes and materials and/or to drive the posts into the ground. In some exemplary disclosed embodiments, the post driving implement allows a post to be picked up when positioned inline with a direction of power machine travel and allows the post to rotate under the force of gravity to a second position in which the post is inline with a pounding mechanism for pounding the post into the ground. Catch mechanisms can be included to capture a portion of the implement to maintain the post in the second position until a release action is taken or a release command is given.
