I used to drive fence posts for a living. We decided to put the driver on a road vehicle rather than a tractor for the sake of transporting between jobs. The driver was on the back, and we learned the fastest way to drive the posts was to straddle the line with the posts parallel to the line with the points where they were to be driven in. These were wood posts, usually about four inches in diameter. It turned out to be FAST. The unit was a 1968 Ford Bronco which had been rolled over in a hunting accident. We started out at about fifty posts per hour. We eventually managed on a couple different jobs to do 180 per hour. We usually averaged about 80 to 100 per hour. The big thing came later when I set it up to operate the Bronco with a joystick at the back. It was then slower, but was much easier to schedule since I no longer had to accommodate both the customers and a part time employee. I also intentionally slowed it down because we charged by the hour and more hours meant more income. As a one man unit I once did 105 posts in an hour. I have a video of it, but I have not been able to copy it because the company which did the DVD from the VHS chose to password protect it.
