·
What training will I require and will it be part of the purchase
price?
|
| |
Your Local Dealer
will be able to demonstrate the King Hitter Post Ramming Technique.
Our King Hitter operating instruction video has all the techniques
to help you. This should be studied in conjunction with the operators
manual prior to operating your King Hitter Post Driver. Always check
the safety instructions before using a King Hitter Postdriver. |
|
·
Does the King Hitter come fully assembled ready to work?
|
| |
Yes.
Final assembly, testing and fitting is your Dealer’s
responsibility. However, our operating instruction video
does cover final assembly, attachment and safety procedures. |
|
·
Where are the hydraulic controls mounted?
|
| |
The controls
are mounted directly onto the King Hitter. This gives easy and safe
operation, by only One Person. |
|
·
How does the King Hitter prevent damage to the post?
|
| |
With
the unique, Safety Control “POST CAP”
that slides up and down the mast with the weight. The “POST
CAP” holds the post in perfect control, prevents damage
and transfers the driving energy directly into the post. Makes driving
the post faster, more accurate and easier. |
|
·
Will the King Hitter fit my Tractors linkage
system?
|
| |
All King Hitter
Post Drivers have provision for category I, II and III linkage systems.
This enables the
King Hitter to be fitted to big and small tractors. |
|
·
Why is it that the King Hitter does
a quicker job better?
|
| |
The
King Hitter is built with a unique, three pulley lift system. This
means the effective use of a longer, High Tensile ‘Live Wound’
wire rope, for easier, smoother, long life, “lift and drop”
action. |
|
·
How easy is it to align posts?
|
| |
The King Hitter
mast hinges from the base in conjunction with the unique design of
the safety
“Post Cap”, which makes post alignment
quick and easy. |
|
·
The “weight” looks dangerous?
|
| |
It
can be, it’s the “Driving Force” behind the awesome
King Hitter and is firmly attached to the mast. This makes it safer
and requires less maintenance. |
|
·
How heavy is the Driving Hammer?
|
| |
The King Hitter
Driving Hammer, weighs in at an incredible 450lb to 600lb. One of
the heaviest on the market. With the six pulley “Fast-Lift”
system, gives faster operation and saves valuable time. |
|
·
How high can the hammer weight go?
|
| |
On
the King Hitter the weight can travel right to the top of the 12’6”,
14’ ,or 16’ mast. This enables you to drive anchor posts
to ground level or up to 14 foot posts with ease. |
|
·
What if I have rocky, stony ground, will the King Hitter still
drive in my posts?
|
| |
You will need
to purchase a Rock Spike Kit, as
an add-on accessory to your King Hitter. Only available on “Series
II” and “Series III” machines. |
|
·
What if I have close density pug clay, limestone or hard pan?
|
| |
You
will need to purchase an Pilot Auger
Attachment for your King Hitter. The Auger King will drill a pilot
hole with up to 550lb of down pressure. This will enable the post
to be driven into the ground, easily. Only available on “Series
II” and “Series III” Deluxe machines. |
|
·
What if I have rocky ground and hard pan?
|
| |
You can purchase
the “Rock Spike Kit,”
Which is the “Rock Spike”
and “Pilot Auger” as
a combined kit assembly. This will take your King Hitter Post Driver
to new levels of performance! |
|
·
What can I do when I remove the King Hitter from my 3 point
linkage?
|
| |
All
King Hitters can be stored easily. Just drive a test post into the
ground at a safe storage destination, tie the machine onto the post,
disconnect the linkages and now it can be stored until you next require
your King Hitter. This information can be found in your operator manual
and Video. |
|
·
Why is the post so firm when driven by a
King Hitter?
|
| |
The technique
is what our scientists call “Hydraulic Suction.” As the
post is driven into the ground, the ground immediately around the
post is mechanically strengthened by a reduction in soil porosity
and an increase in soil compaction. Thus the surrounding ground pressure
will secure the post up to sixteen times firmer than a similar Bored
and Tampered Post. |
