Our Flagship Rotational Post Driver.
The Revolution Telescopic 180 is a post driver that comes into its own when the going gets tough.
The rotational 180 is proven in hill country, undulating terrain including reaching up onto and down banks, across ditches, cattle yards, retaining walls, house piles and ALL tricky positions that require reach. The 180 requires minimal tractor movements for post placement with an efficient one man operation for both tractor and post driver.
Despite its looks, the 180 is not a heavy post driver, we have focussed on smart engineering to give superior strength rather than simply adding more heavy material.
The 180’s subframe provides increased stability on uneven terrain when compared to the Rotational Swinga, especially when coupled with the hydraulic legs.

Telescopic 180 Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 180 need a counterweight?
No. The telescopic 180 is designed for on board balance and does not require a counterweight. One of the benefits of being designed with practical knowledge, is knowing where the main weight should sit on a post driver and how advantageous on board balance is to the overall design.
Is The 180 big and heavy?
Not even! The 180 rammer weighs only 1100 kg and requires a tractor 90 hp plus for when operating in hill country.
The 180 looks like it sits a long way off the Tractor?
While the 180 has 3.1 metres of reach from the rear of the tractor wheels the ability to move the mast around the subframe rotation allows the post rammer to compact up behind either of side of the tractor, close to the wheel.
What are the Advantages of base movement?
Base movement is everything if you want to maintain fast efficient systems. It eliminates the need to get on and off the tractor more than once per post and it increases safety immeasurably when moving around in awkward or hilly terrain.
Revolution offers advantages not only of reaching into awkward tight areas but also providing you with the base movement to drive posts when the going gets less than ideal.

“With this setup being so easy to use, we find we can get Mum out on the tractor while Dads using the post driver freeing the rest of the team up to complete all the other tasks on the job”

Rammer Features
Revolutions Telescopic Mast
Telescopic Mast.
Revolutions telescopic mast will comfortably drive in a 3.6m strainer, and will still drive a 4.2m. The mast will drive right down to ground height for footing.
Post Pulling.
Our telescopic mast will pull out posts and strainers without needing to move the mounting machine around. Simply attach a chain and you can pull up to 7.2 Tons.
Compactness.
Revolutions telescopic mast packs down to a total height of only 3.2m vertical. This means that you can ram posts inside sheds, underneath trees as well as travelling safely underneath power lines.
Postdriver Accessories
Hydraulic Legs.
No ground is ever flat. Use the hydraulic legs to perfectly balance and stabilise the mount to ensure straight posts and reduce mechanical stress on the unit.
Rock Spike.
Our rock spikes come in two sizes to handle all types of terrain across New Zealand. The rock spike kit fits directly into the mast and extracts the driven spike.
Auger Kit.
Revolution offer three auger sizes, and three motor types, including two planetary motors for heavy duty drilling. The Auto Auger kit fits directly to the telescopic mast.
