Frequently Asked Questions

Buying a FencePro post driver is a big decision, and it's normal to have questions along the way. Below, we've answered some of the most common questions we hear from farmers and fencing contractors, from choosing the right model to how our dealer network works.
Which model do I buy?

There is a process to go through to determine which model and options suit each customer. You can contact the sales team at Farmgear directly, or talk to your local dealer about the type of fencing and the terrain and substrates you are likely to encounter. The Fencepro range is very extensive so you will normally need some guidance to ensure you get the best machine for your requirements.

Why do you sell through dealers?

Farmgear can provide much better service to customers when working through machinery dealers. They will work through the best models and options, and have good local knowledge of the conditions. Dealers will also take trade-ins, arrange finance, deliver the new post driver to your farm and set it up on the tractor. If any after sales service is needed, they are close at hand to help out to minimise any downtime. Spare parts are normally kept in stock at their branches, so you can often get same day service for parts.

Are Fencepro rammers more expensive than those that are sold direct to the customer?

No they aren’t. Because Fencepro are the biggest player in the market – they manufacture a lot more post drivers. This has what’s known as economies of scale – so the machines are built more efficiently and the components are cheaper to buy with greater quantities purchased. The combined efficiencies of more production and better buying power means highly competitive (and in many cases cheaper) pricing.

How long do I have to wait for my new post rammer after I order it?

This does vary, Fencepro try to keep the time from order to despatch under two weeks, however, just check when ready to order.  No deposit is required, and all machines have free delivery – not only to the dealer, but to your farm. Normally the rammer is set up on your tractor and the trade taken away for an enjoyable, hassle free deal.

Where can I see a Fencepro post driver?

Most Fencepro dealers will have a model in stock. It is also most likely their best-selling model so a good chance it suits your area. Some dealers will stock Farmer models, others Contractor models as that is what they sell the most of. Fencepro post drivers are the best value for money for sale in New Zealand.

Can I add upgrade options at a later date?

Absolutely. With the exception of the hinged mast, pretty much all options can be fitted later on as your needs change. We encourage owners to add extra valves if there’s a fair chance they will be adding options – but even valve banks can be fitted later. Fencepro have a modular system which they call MBA – standing for Mast Base Attachment. Basically you pick a mast that suits your type of work and then build the attachments to suit.

How do I fit a 2nd-Tier Valve Bank?

If you have ordered a 2nd-tier valve bank to give you more valve functions so you can add a base or attachment, refer to the valve-specific instructions below for how to fit it. You need to make sure you have the correct high-pressure carryover plug for your existing valve bank. If in doubt, contact us.
