In this video, I’m out in the paddock with veteran fencing contractor Rob Bailey and Simon from Thor to unpack a brand-new Thor TH43 post driver — and then service one that’s done over 10,000 posts without ever being checked.
We show you exactly how to test and recharge the nitrogen gas in a Thor post driver, why correct pressure matters, and how poor gas pressure quietly robs you of hitting power, efficiency, and safety.
This is practical, real-world information for:
• Fencing contractors
• Farmers and land managers
• Anyone running hydraulic post drivers on skid steers or tractors
No workshop required. No guesswork. Just a simple system you can check yourself.
Topics covered
– Thor TH43 unboxing and setup
– Why hydraulic post drivers are safer than mast drivers
– Gas pressure specs explained (bar vs PSI)
– How to check nitrogen pressure safely
– How to recharge to factory spec
– Common mistakes that stop post drivers hitting properly
