Fence Post Driver Pound Off! | Rhino GPD-45 vs Titan PGD2875

[@leonwolfwalker4178]

thanks for the review! decision made. GoWyo!!

[@SWiFence]

Our pleasure!

[@amacintosh3515]

Would have been curious if they would have finished the post with the rhino.

[@Tripp2Ton]

This by far helped me out. I almost did the same thing. Glad I am sticking with Rhino. Thank you again for doing this video.

[@SWiFence]

You bet!

[@Loadedgoods]

on my Truck I welded 3inch pipes @ about 2 ft tall 12 1/2 inches apart on a metal plate using rubber membrane with heavy duty eye lid anchors, built a frame that locks into the holes on the top of the truck box near the back to hold the post pounders while in transport chained down can't go anywhere keeping them vertical perfect way to keep them taking up less space and keeping them in a position that is optimal to pick it up and use also avoiding them from sliding around in the truck getting banged up. They are not Cheap. The case is a nice touch but long term it takes up a lot of space not so practical in my opinion I'd probably use the case for storage not on the truck for tag out ready for repair. Great video I enjoy them keep up the great work.

[@SWiFence]

Great idea! 👍🏻

[@codyschmidtmann3992]

I would love to seen you put the rhino on the Titan post and see if it would continue to drive it.

[@SWiFence]

Yeah, I should've demonstrated that. I remembered to do that when I was comparing these other drivers: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fp7Xf56FhMtnpJI

[@djchopperd]

you should have tried the rhino to finish off the other post. i'm curious

[@dconnell0248]

It would have been interesting to see if the Rhino would have finished driving the post in

[@stubby1122]

Rhino in 43 pounds the Titan only 30. You want a better head to head you should have used the Titan PGD3875 it clocks in at 45 pounds. @ 1:20ish the Titan went down really fast until about 1:40, you're soil isn't consistent enough to do a fair comparison. Probably went thru some rocks hit soil like the Rhino went thru then hit more rocks.This shouldn't help anyone make a decision regarding which one is better.

[@SWiFence]

I stand by our assessment that Titan drivers are inferior in every conceivable way to Redi and Rhino. Buy at your own risk ⚠️

[@stubby1122]

@@SWiFence Collect your check from Rhino. At least try not to look so biased. Take some time to research the scientific method for comparisons.

[@danielletaffner1202]

The Titan PGD2875 driver is a Farm and Home driver and is for lightweight work and to make a fair comparison, you should have chosen one of the contract series drivers, the Titan PGD3200, which has almost the same weight as your Rhino driver. This would be the best comparison match, unless you are just trying to dog on the Rhino competition.

[@aquaforceservices7086]

I'm in NW Florida do you think line post 24 inches deep driven in is good with no cement? Just wondering I really want to start driving post instead of post hole digging or using my auger.

[@SWiFence]

No. ASTM requires a minimum of 3' and possibly more if the ground is loose. Some guys in FL are driving 54" for solid privacy.

[@westonandelin4556]

what do you think of the power post driver out of Australia? It runs off of air.

[@SWiFence]

Huh! Haven't heard of it!

[@kylestanley4989]

Should have used the titan pgd 3200

[@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885]

I'm driving down well pipe - I'm 30 feet down in clay hardpan. Rhino worked. Titan - NOTHING - I burned through 2 tanks of gas - nothing. I pounded with the Manual 30 pound post pounder and I got about 3/4" for 30 slams. Way better than "nothing" with the Titan. I guess I have to rent the Rhino again.

[@adamheard9997]

Can you drive your corners with one of these drivers? If so, what diameter pipe do you use and how deep do you drive it? (for livestock applications)

[@SWiFence]

Yes, With a custom adaptor you can drive 2 7/8 but it better be soft ground.

[@danielcourtney7045]

Do they need to be driven 48” for line posts or would 36” usually do as long as it’s below the frost line

[@SWiFence]

36" is fine as long as you're below frost. Of course, if your frost line is deeper or your posts are longer (ie: fence is higher), then you'd need to go deeper.

[@mttpsg00]

anyway, kinda easy to remove those posts off the ground... it was nice if you flatten a bit to see if that way would be harder to remove the post. as anti-theft measure. or some small cut with the grinder and push to outside in an arrow shape .

[@SWiFence]

If you're going to steal them you're going to wear yourself out doing it. Fence post theft isn't an issue around here, so we're just worried about strength and structural integrity.

[@mttpsg00]

@@SWiFence but you never know. considering metal price increase these days

[@FJB2020]

You should have finished it off with your other driver to make sure it wasn't hitting rock..

[@FerrisWaller]

This would have been believable if he had tried the Rino on the last post

[@FJB2020]

@@FerrisWaller yup, that was my thinking as well..

[@SWiFence]

I wish we'd thought of that in the moment, but I'm pretty convinced that driver is trash. We did remember to finish off with the Rhino in our test against the RediDriver: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fp7Xf56FhMtnpJI We've got a video coming up soon where we bring Titan's commercial driver in and pit it against both the RediDriver and the Rhino.

[@FJB2020]

@@SWiFence I mean, you can tell the Rino was a better machine, but it would have been nice to see if it drove it the rest of the way or not. Thanks for the response and video, def skipping on the Titan...

[@wyflyguy114]

@@FJB2020 I should have done it but have no doubt it would have drove it no problem. We just dropped a new video doing exactly what you are talking about when testing the Rhino vs the Redi Boss 78

[@trackmader]

Put a mell in your kit :-) Friend had the same experience with a titan as well, he saw my t post driver work and regretted his titan as well.

[@edk9576]

How are you going to compare a $2900 Rhino against a $700 Titan. Apples and oranges. Buy the Titan 3200 and see how they compare.\

[@johndaniels5407]

Thank you for the heads up. God bless you! Do you mind telling me what boots you are wearing too? I like how you just slip them on...

[@SWiFence]

My favorite is Twisted X and they make steel toed work boots as well.

[@fnceco.7397]

Amazing reviews as always. You ever had issues with these heaving due to frost? I’m in canada we get about 42 inches of frost... would this be a good option? I’m looking to add a rhino driver to my fleet.

[@SWiFence]

No. Driving has been the primary method used in the northern climates due to the fact it works so well in frost. Alaska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota etc. require driven posts in many cases due to frost heave.

[@fnceco.7397]

@@SWiFence amazing thank you. Love your content!

[@ryansobin412]

Will these drive through tree roots?

[@SWiFence]

Yep, they'll cut through. It'll obviously take longer especially depending on the size.

[@joshuaanderson5976]

This is like saying a dodge neon wont beat a corvette so dodge is shit... $800 driver vs a $2800 driver... not at all a comparison. Honestly the fact that titan did half the work for a quarter of the price id be real interested to see what the top line titan does.

[@rickstech9771]

Straight to the point👍🏻

[@SWiFence]

I call it like I see it.

[@AnxiousCowboy]

$3000 vs $400. great review lol

[@AnxiousCowboy]

when are you gonna review the ford escort against ferrari next?

[@SWiFence]

Hey sometimes the cheap tool will keep up with the pricey one (it just won't last as long), but not in this case. These comparisons were more even: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fp7Xf56FhMtnpJI kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4TbdaGqrK6LrLs And this one's not, but it's specifically about different kinds of drivers: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aorSgJ-ofJejp6s

[@mttpsg00]

thanks! very useful clip !

[@SWiFence]

Glad it was helpful!

[@gregkurtz4374]

well, it appears the Titan is not worth shite.

[@SWiFence]

We didn't love it.

[@JJE2010MO]

LMAO - LOVE these videos! for the WIN !!!!!

[@laserbob6766]

Got a good laugh as well as an education about these post drivers. I would have like to see the unfinished job (from the Titan) get finished by the Rhino.

[@SWiFence]

We did that when we compared the Redi to the Rhino.

[@johngaltfan9703]

I would have like to the the Rhino finish off the other post.

[@SWiFence]

I should hav done that. We did that in another video though.

Yeah, not a fan.
