[QUOTE="Fishfiles, post: 11434, member: 782"] We live in the land of pilings , there are alot of crews puttig 30 and 40 ft pilings in the ground all the way to dirt with Bobcats , there make the attachment to pick them up ad set them , most fabricate their own , it is a side ways clamp , they first drill a hole 8-10ft deep with an auger and extension , then grap the piling about 4 ft from the end , the can then lift the poe vertical and set it into the hole ,they grab it higher up the pole with the clamp and pull it down as far as they can go , from there they use a couple of different methods , the best seems to be a excavtor with a vibratory plate compactor that has a piece of large pipe welded to the foot , they use machines in the 20,000 range and up , they are able to get on top the piling and vibrate it into the ground , another method is a mini pile drive attachment , that has a sprag on the winch which when the winch is lifted up , when it gets to the top o the leads it drops the weight , I finished today setting up a Kobelco 115 with a wet kit and a plate , he put two down as a test and it worked fine , he used the punch method , it is a 10ft tapered spike that chains to the plate , they push it into the ground then pul it out , it leaves a nice hole for the piling to fit into , really something to see they do 40 --40 ft in a half a day [/QUOTE]
