Post Drivers | The FencePro Farmtek
Reliable Post Rammer Performance for Everyday Rural Fencing
The Farmtek post driver (also known as a post driver or fence driver) is the go-to choice for farmers who need a dependable, easy-to-use post rammer for general farm fencing work. Designed and built in New Zealand, it delivers the same build quality and attention to detail found across the full FencePro range—just in a compact, farmer-friendly package.
Even in its standard form, the Farmtek post knocker includes height-adjustable feet for extra clearance when driving strainers and a full hydraulic control system operated by a custom-made Italian valve bank that was built for post driver use. An external port relief valve protects the system by eliminating pressure spikes when the block stops, ensuring long-term reliability. This also prevents pressure spikes from going back to your tractor and causing damage.

The Farmtek post hitter comes standard with a 180UB mast section, 4.0-metre mast height (3.3m under the postcap), and a 190 kg block for reliable post-driving power. Every unit includes height-adjustable feet, 20° side tilt, and a 35° hydraulic toplink, giving you excellent flexibility when working across uneven terrain. The hydraulics rams are controlled through a 3-function Italian valve bank, while the 60mm mast pivot pin and 140 mm wire rope pulleys ensure smooth post banger operation.
For those wanting extra capability, the Farmtek post rammer can be upgraded with a 230kg block, 4.5 m or 4.8 m hydraulic-hinge mast, and a range of post driver bases, including the popular Sidemount 900 base with the tool holders and toolbox storage. Optional attachments include a standard auger kit (75 mm - 200 mm augers), post lifter, chainsaw holder, and toolbox upgrades (on Sidemount base) for added convenience on the fence line.
Every FencePro Farmtek post driver is manufactured and assembled in Palmerston North, New Zealand, using premium materials like the Italian valve banks, and New Zealand-made hydraulic rams. Each unit is sandblasted and coated with a primer, then tough 2-pac paint for maximum paint life, ensuring it performs and looks great for years to come. Every machine is backed by a 24-month peace-of-mind warranty and supported by a nationwide network of trusted dealers.
Buying through your local FencePro dealer means more than just great service. It means on-farm delivery, machine setup, trade-in and finance options, and the confidence that help is nearby if you ever need it. Dealers know your local ground conditions and can guide you to the best setup for your region.
Dealing directly with an importer or small manufacturer might seem appealing at first — especially on price. But once they’ve got your money, will they still be there in a few years’ time when you need support? Are they committed to keeping you going, or just closing the sale? Before buying direct, consider the value of proper setup, product use and safety training, after-sales service, and local backup. So, if you’re after an affordable, reliable post driver that doesn’t compromise on performance, the Farmtek is an unbeatable value option for New Zealand farmers and lifestyler’s.
