The Eterra PDX-1000 excavator post driver sets posts from the machine's own arm, so an operator can reach along a fence line, down a bank, or into a ditch without repositioning the carrier for every post. It is the excavator build of the PDX-1000, and the supplier prices it with the mount included.

The driver develops a 1,000 ft-lb energy class and 32,000 lbf of impact force, and it cycles fast enough to keep a crew moving down a line rather than waiting on the machine. Driving depth varies with the options ordered, and the driver head is heat-treatable alloy steel. The excavator model is sized for a carrier with the lift capacity to hold it out at reach.

Common Applications

  • Setting fence, guardrail, and sign posts along a line from the excavator arm
  • Post work on banks, ditches, and ground the carrier cannot easily drive onto
  • Agricultural and property fencing where the reach of a boom shortens the job

Selection Notes

  • The excavator model is a single orderable configuration, part number ET-17C001-A003-63, and the mount is included in its price.
  • The supplier's order page asks for an excavator coupler selection by carrier model, offering Bobcat Exchange, Caterpillar CR304.5, John Deere 35D, John Deere 50D, Kubota KX121/KX091, a build-your-own option, and an other-coupler route.
  • A driver head is chosen in the buy box, flat or domed and cone, and it is priced separately from the machine.
  • An add-on breaker tool is chosen in the buy box and is likewise priced separately.
  • The base row is the driver alone and includes neither a head nor a breaker tool; the price of each item chosen is added to it.
  • The page's own specification row publishes a tilt angle and a grapple post diameter that neither the cart nor the price book offers on the excavator build. Neither figure is published here; confirm with the supplier before quoting either.
  • Confirm the coupler face and your machine's flow with the supplier before ordering.
