PGD2875 Titan Gas Powered Post Driver

Was visiting my son in Texas in mid August and helping him put up fence posts around his property for his horses. It was mid August. After trying to put in the first two posts by hand I said no way. I immediately went on Amazon and saw this and bought it. It was also delivered next day so yes it couldn't have been any better. This thing rocks. It pounded and pounded those fence posts one after the other like they were tooth picks in sand. I would have literally died in that hot August Texas heat had it not been for this machine. The only regret was I had to leave it there and couldn't bring it back with me. Would make good use putting in T-posts out in the desert for shooting steel AR 500. Oh well. Would definitely consider buying another one for myself.

We received this in a carrying case. Easy to put together and starts up easily. We built 3 sets of fencing across 13 acres. The post driver did an extremely excellent job. Only one tank of gas put in 70 posts and had gas when finished. Instead of spending $1.000.00 plus on a higher end pole pounder, I highly recommend this one! God bless and good luck!

Product was an out of the box failure. We received the product Monday afternoon. Unpacked it and followed the start up instructions to the letter including filling it with gas and oil. It would not run correctly at all and this was without even trying to drive a post. Contacted the support number provided in the box. Walked through several attempts with support trying to get it to work. They indicated it was probably a problem with the clutch. Due to the fact that the product had been filled with gas and oil it could not be returned thru Amazon. We contacted the seller again. They indicated they would send a call tag and that once they received it they would either repair or replace it and it could take a few weeks or more. This was unacceptable to me. Contacted Amazon they contacted vendor on our behalf. Vendor contacted us and is sending a call tag and has agreed to issue a refund once they receive the item. They had Lots of questions about the model ordered. They suggested I purchase a better one for $220 more and offered a $30 discount off the more expensive model if I wanted to drive to a store about 10 miles away and exchange it. At this point it’s been more than $30.00 worth of trouble unpacking the product, trying to get it to work and failing, contacting support and walking through steps to try to get it to work, working first with the company, then amazon and then the company again to resolve the issue, having to drain the gas and oil and repackaging it and preparing it to be sent back. The company did not seem to have much confidence in this $530 model. I would still like to have a post driver but I’m going to have to think about whether I would order one from this manufacturer again or at the very least whether I would order this model. To be fair it could be a one off issue but it’s cause for concern. Customer service left something to be desired too. The second individual I spoke to from the seller company was a bit more helpful but I was still left feeling disappointed and annoyed that they didn’t have a better resolution. I was grateful that I purchased this thru Amazon. The product has a one year warranty but given my experience I wouldn’t count on that. Too bad. This product is made or at least assembled I think in my home state of Missouri. I’d love the opportunity to give them rave reviews but in this case so far I can’t. If I decide to order another one and it works out I will revise my review. I want to be fair and I’ve read other decent reviews on both the company and the product. I’m hoping I just got a bad one and that they figure out how to work with customers in a manner that takes into account the hassle it is to receive a defective product, go through the start up procedures, contact support for help, have to jump through hoops to try to resolve the issue etc. by taking part in a total of 4 different phone calls, it should only require one phone call with an out of the box failure and every effort should be made to avoid causing the customer additional trouble. It’s not the customers fault their product failed to work straight out of the box.

Purchased in 2018. Used several times a year for T-posts in hard, rocky soil. Sometimes goes slow depending on how hard the soil is, but out of 500+ posts I've only had to move posts to a softer spot a few times. Only complaint is that the idle adjustment is finicky - hard to set and doesn't seem to hold solid through a day of work, so it can sometimes be difficult to get started and keep running. But once it's going and warmed up it works well.

I used this to install 250' of chainlink fence. I drove in six terminal/corner posts and 24 line posts to a depth of 46"-48". It took 3-4 minutes to drive each post. The soil in my yard is not rock and I only had to deal with tree roots on a couple of line posts. I couldn't be happier with the performance of this post driver. The only issue I ran into was that the posts would mushroom where the driver made contact. This wasn't a problem with the corner/terminal post because the diameter didn't require a smaller collar. The line posts did require a smaller collar and I would have to unscrew the collar to remove the driver when I reached proper depth. I, then, cut the mushroomed head off to the correct height, removed the collar, and reattached it to the driver. The key is to allow yourself a couple of inches to cut off so they are all the correct height.

I received this post driver and all I had to do was add the oil that came with it, put some gasoline in the tank, prime it and choke it and started right up. I bought this post driver to drive the 2 inch steel posts for my greenhouse. A total of 32 posts to a depth of 36 inches. Not any issues. I also used it to drive the 8 foot grounding rod for my shop electrical system I am installing. Worked great. I plan to install about 4 acres of steel fence posts this fall as I get ready to make pastures for cattle. If there is anything negative about the machine it is the sensitivity of the choke but even that was easy to deal with. All in all for a machine made in China, pretty good. I'm not thrilled that it is made in China and not here in the USA.

Fired right up on the 2nd poll for the first start. Comes with a very good case to store it and attachments. Made very well, durable. Where I live, there is very hard layer of clay to bust through and at times it was just easier to use a good old picket pounder to get through, but overall this works as it should. Put in 28 t-post this morning before the heat set in and for the most part it either when in like butter or you just hold on it for awhile and it slowly drives the t-post in. For the review, I knew buying this, there would be areas it just would not work here in Arizona on my soil cause of the rocks and clay, but it did save me manual driving all of them in which I might of gotten half done if I had too. Only 80 more to go.

I would give 0 stars if I could. Why is that not an option for something that doesn’t even work? We call that theft. Bought for fence project. Did NOT drive a single t-post one inch. Did all of them by hand. Contacted Titan numerous times. No response. No emails returned. No calls back. Would hope for better from an American company. Would like to contact seller directly. But with Amazon you talk to robots in Indian. They don’t understand taking a picture does nothing to show that a product like this doesn’t work. It’s filled with gas and oil. How would I return anyways? BS. I also think this was repackaged and resold to me from appearance of box. Go figure. Save yourself time and aggravation. Don’t buy this POS. Unless you want a $500 paper weight.

works great! Used it to drive 70 poles so far.

Seems pretty good quality, pretty good manual, started right up, I'll see what it's like to use

Drove down my chainlink posts fairly easy until we hit harder packed areas and then had to finish the last 2 feet with a hand one. But it did save tons of hard labour on 300’ long fence. The machine can be finicky but just follow instructions on starting and storing and it should work.
