Premier Attachments Intros Versatile Post Driver

You probably won't need to install deer and bison fencing, but you will be able to use it on SSLs and mini excavators.

The Premier Attachments PD400 Post Driver is a hydraulic post driver engineered to deliver efficient, damage-free installation across a wide range of fencing and post-driving applications.

Designed for contractors, farmers, ranchers, and builders, the PD400 combines versatility, durability, and ease of use in a lightweight attachment package, the company says.

How to safely operate compact equipment attachments

The PD400 is purpose-built to drive traditional 4x4(-inch) fence posts, T-posts, and 4-inch pipe with ease. The stationary cup design minimizes wear to the post ends while an optional 4-foot T-Post Tube ensures fast, accurate installation while minimizing post damage.

To maximize flexibility in the field, the PD400 features a standard center mount, with multiple extension options available to improve reach, efficiency, and job site cleanliness.

Multiple options, multiple jobs

The Side Reach Extension reduces machine repositioning, helping operators install posts faster while limiting ground disturbance. For taller and specialty applications, the Adjustable High Reach Extension is well-suited for solar installations, deer and bison fencing, agriculture and horticulture fencing, and security fence projects.

Premier Attachments also offers an Auger Drive option, allowing operators to mount a high-quality Premier Auger Drive using either a standard mounting bracket or a 90-degree side-mount bracket—further expanding the PD400’s versatility.

Additional options such as Duo-Tach compatibility allow the PD400 to be used on full- sized and mini skid steer CII units, maximizing equipment utilization. Multiple mounting configurations are available, including John Deere 400/500, Global/Euro, excavator, and fork rail mounts, making the PD400 a practical solution for contractor fleets as well as ranches and farms.
