| Hello NR, I wonder if you can get one with tracks? We have spent the last two of several days pounding posts along a very muddy creek at the outlet of a lake on a place we are renting.We are packing the posts and braces in on foot and pounding with a hand pounder.We are hanging four strands of wire and we can roll them out with an atv but it is like walking and working on the worlds largest mattress.

I saw one of those Jonsered Iron Horse track things last weekend, I was tying to brainstorom how you could use one for fencing.
The bigger fencing dealer in the NE has one of those Wheathart's for rent. I think there's has something with pressurized water for the pilot hole. I ended up buying a Shaver because I didn't want to drive 3 to 3.5 hrs each way to rent one, plus it will get its use over the years.
I'm dissapointed with Shaver, they came out with an auger and I bought an HD-10 planning to add the auger later, then I found out from Kencove that it only goes 18". They're supposed to be working on one that does like 42", last time I checked with them it was an idea and hadn't been designed.

| Wheatheart is an awesome company-this is actually a prototype-it works great-it would be the cat's meow for building corrals-you can maneuver it anywhere.
