Hire services to help to meet and increase farm production output

Paddock preparation

To help turn uncultivated land, into paddocks ready for planting QuikFence offers the Shulte rock picker and rock windrower, plus a 15’ heavy duty Trojan slasher. The rock picker and windrower are available only as a wet hire service and the slasher as either wet or dry hire.

The Schulte Rock Windrower is over a massive 4 metres (14’) wide to help clear your paddock in double quick time. The extra heavy duty rock windrower can collect rocks from 5cms (2”) to nearly 55cms (25”), plus roots and branches into 4 metre rows reducing the time spent collecting the unwanted material. Depending on the number of rocks and roots to be collected and removed, the rock windrower can clear a paddock at 2 to 4 acres per hour.

To collect the rows of rocks the Schulte Rock Picker can collect rocks up 68cms (27”) into a 3 cubic yard hopper in less than 10 minutes. This is one tough piece of equipment, holding approximately 3.9 tonne of rock. Enables QuikFence to maximise the hire time and reduces time wasted driving to and from the “dumping zone” compared to small capacity options.

When is the Best Time for Fencing on Australian Farms

Why autumn and early winter is the ideal time to fence for farms and rural properties?

Can a Kinghitter Post Driver Work Efficiently in All Weather Conditions?

28 March 2025

For Aussie farmers and fencing contractors, protecting and securing is an essential part of their day-to-day operations. Fencing is a proven prevention method for wild animals, efficient land division, and structured livestock management. However, professionally engineered fencing equipment has a relatively higher importance than conventional fencing ways. The top choices for post installation include the KingHitter, a robust and reliable machine best suited for Australian needs. This equipment is designed to efficiently drive fence posts into the ground quickly and securely. The common question among users, however, is whether a KingHitterpost driver will be as efficient even in changing and adverse weather conditions of the country. Let’s find out through this blog. Understanding Weather’s Impact on Fencing Australia’s varied climate ranges from extreme heatwaves to heavy rain, cold snaps to dry spells. These conditions also delay fencing projects and cause difficulties in post driving. From the sunbaked outback to coastal regions with high rainfall, the ground can range from rock-hard and dry to waterlogged and unstable. The efficiency of any fencing equipment, including the Kinghitter, depends largely on how well it can handle these variations. How Dry and Hard Ground Affects Post Driving In various regions of Australia, especially in the summer, the soil can become very dry and compacted. Traditional post drivers often have difficulty in these conditions, needing extra force and frequently resulting in bent or misaligned posts. The Kinghitter rammer, on the other hand, is engineered with high-impact force and hydraulic adjustments that enable it to effectively penetrate the tough ground. For particularly tough terrain, the Kinghitter can be equipped with specialised rock spike attachments, which help break through compacted soil and ensure that posts are installed securely. This is particularly beneficial in drought-prone areas where the ground can be as hard as concrete. Handling Wet and Muddy Conditions Heavy rain and prolonged wet weather can make post installation tricky, as muddy soil may cause posts to slip, shift or sink. This can be a common issue in regions that experience seasonal rainfall or flooding. The Kinghitter offers precision control through its hydraulic adjustments, allowing operators to manage depth and alignment with ease. Additionally, the high-powered ramming force helps to compact the soil around the post, reducing movement once the ground starts drying out. This is especially helpful where poor ground conditions make the soil unstable and will cause fence lines to shift over time. To increase stability in such conditions even further, operators may employ larger posts or apply gravel at the bottom for added stability. Maintenance for Year-Round Performance One of the standout features of the Kinghitter Post Driver is its ability to handle different terrains across Australia. KingHitter can conquer all kinds of grounds for the secure installation of posts, that stand the test of time and stay rigid. A post driver’s ability to function at its best also depends on its build. QuikFence guarantees fencing solutions that not only meet but exceed user expectations. It showcases a perfect blend of expertise and cutting-edge equipment when working in the field. To keep the Kinghitter in top working condition, operators should: Regularly lubricate hydraulic components Check security features to protect from hammer drop Inspect the ramming mechanism for damage after working in rocky terrain Store the machine in a covered area when not in use to prevent weather-related deterioration By performing routine maintenance, users can ensure their King hitter post pounder remains in peak condition, no matter the season. Final Thoughts For farm fencing, the KingHitter is the ultimate choice. The diverse weather conditions on the Australian landscape pose a real-life challenge to the farmers and fencing contractors. Making this valuable investment will serve them in the long term when soil conditions become an issue. This machine provides the power and control needed to install posts efficiently and securely.
