Finally got round to getting a post knocker for the farm started. I've based the design round the models made by Bryce Suma and Vector Powerdrive. It will have a 400kg solid steel hammer to slide on the mast.
Progress so far has entailed making up the main frame that will carry the mast. It will have side shift on it to move the mast in and out 600mm. The main frame will be able to tilt on the 3 point linkage through the use of a hydraulic top link ram. It also has independent hydraulic stabiliser legs. There will be a 400kg counter weight to go on the opposite end of the side shift arms to balance the machine out.
