Post Drivers | The FencePro Mule

The Adaptable Post Rammer That Can Be Configured to Suit Almost Any Fencing Requirements.

The FencePro Mule is like the building block of the FencePro tractor-mounted post driver range. In its standard form, the Mule is a fairly basic yet very heavy-duty post driver, ready to handle everyday farm fencing work. Fit it out with the right options, and it becomes a fully specced contractor-level post driver unit, capable of driving posts in rock, clay, sandstone, papa, and everything in between. The FencePro Mule is a true workhorse, built to be adapted to suit your requirements.

In this product overview video, Ridge from FencePro walks through the Mule post rammer and explains why it has become one of the most popular tractor-mounted post hitters on New Zealand farms.

Structurally, the Mule shares a lot of its mast construction with FencePro's top-tier Ultra Series post drivers. It's built around a 150UC I-beam section, made using specially rolled 350-grade steel, which is stronger than anything on the NZ market. A 60mm greaseable mast pivot pin gives smooth side tilt and paired with the hydraulic top link and side tilt rams, delivers 20 degrees of side tilt and 35 degrees of variable top link tilt. Adjustable height feet come as standard, and the 9mm wire rope runs over Ø140mm pulleys for longer rope life.

The basic unit comes with a 4.0 metre rigid mast, giving you 3.3m under the postcap, is fitted with a 25mm postcap and 230kg block. The standard Mule weighs in at 550kg. 270kg and 300kg block upgrades are available for tougher ground conditions. A hydraulic hinged 4.5m or 4.8m mast is also available as an upgrade for those wanting increased hitting power and easy transport.

What sets the Mule apart is that it can start as an entry-level machine, but be fitted with the same bases and attachments as the FencePro Ultra series post drivers. This includes products like the RB800 180° rotational base, UltraGlide Rockspike Extractor Kit, Rock drill, and Mast shift base. All of which open the door to a whole new level of post-driving capability. Whatever base and attachments you choose, FencePro will configure the machine with the correct number of valve functions to suit.

Effectively, you can select from the list of FencePro upgrade options until you configure a rammer that suits your ground conditions and budget. A common Mule setup pairs the standard Mule post driver with the Rockspike Extractor kit, an excellent package well suited to stony ground in areas like Canterbury and Otago. Configuring the Mule post rammer with an Auger or Rockdrill Kit is another popular configuration, fitting straight onto the Rockspike Extractor to create a highly versatile unit that's interchangeable between a rock spike and an auger. This combination handles papa clay and sandstone well, ground conditions common through much of the North Island. Either of these units can be mounted on any of the FencePro base options.

The Mule is also an ideal starting point for contractors getting their business off the ground. When cash flow is tight in those early years, with so much else to invest in, the Mule lets you get started with a basic, heavy-duty post driver and increase its capability as your business grows. You might begin with a basic rear mount setup, then add a side mount base as you take on more work, and a few years down the track, upgrade to a rotating base as your workload demands it. FencePro can retrofit the valve functions needed for each of these upgrades.

Thanks to its popularity and robust build quality, the Mule also holds excellent resale value, making it an excellent long-term investment for farmers and contractors alike.
