The legendary PD-55
For nearly 40 years, the PD-55 and its predecessor - the PD-50 have been the productivity leaders in post driving. At just 54 pounds and with a 3½" piston, the brutally tough PD-55 is capable of hankling your toughest applications quickly and efficiently. The PD-55 is ideally suited for driving T-posts, ground rods, tent stakes, grape stakes, delineator posts, form pins and fence posts up to 35/8".
