[AT] OT excavator to drive posts

[pga2 at BasicISP.net]

Cecil,
The state came around a few years ago and built a guardrail in front of my place on both
sides of the road. They pushed the posts into the ground hydraulically (they look like
I beams). We have the heavy clay soil here also. The machine was truck mounted. Seems to
me you should be able to do the same with your excavator/breaker if it is what I think
it is.

I have a neighbor that wants us to build a fence (pipe & cable) around 
his place.  We are thinking of pushing or driving the posts in the 
ground with the excavator.   I have a  hyd breaker bought in Plyumouth 
MI, and it will take a while to get it here..    Anyone had any luck 
with pushing posts in the ground, in a clay soil??  ( yeah I know, good 
luck!!)
