Proven by experience Practical experience counts, and because of it, NZF Products Ltd is proud to be New Zealand distributor for the Christie Engineering Petrol Powered Waratah driver. “The ergonomic design makes installing steel Y posts quick and efficient. Using a Honda GX35 FOUR stroke motor, the machine starts effortlessly and reliably every time,” says Hamish Hurst from NZF Products. “Our family have a steep hill country farm near Parnassus, North Canterbury, with an extensive hill country fencing programme. We were trying to install about 80 Y posts a day, by hand, into hard rotten rock and we brought a Maxi 73mm model from Christie Engineering and were installing up to 100 posts an hour in hard country. “The labour savings and increased productivity have meant we have saved thousands.” Selfpowered with no hoses and compressors to worry about, it is a simple easy to use system. “The old Ponjar rock drill has only been out
for 40 posts during this period where we would have had to use it for half of all steel posts installed. Two Maxi machines have been going strongly since October installing over 4,000 posts per machine, and contractors in Australia report machines still going strong after 20,000 steel posts. This reliability is due to the machine being fully manufactured and precision machined locally in Sydney from the highest grade of materials possible, plus being coupled with a genuine OEM approved Honda FOUR stroke motor with a three year warranty, make it a winning combination.” There are two models ex stock, the Standard 50mm model which weighs 13kg, then a Maxi 73mm model at 16kg. The Maxi model can drive two Y posts welded back to back where traditionally heavy T Irons were used on hand fenced corners,
plus has 20% more power due to a larger diameter piston. “Up to 200 Y posts an hour can easily be installed in good ground much faster than compressed air or hydraulic systems, while in harder ground the machine can break through rotten and shaley rock where traditionally rock drills had to be used where it was too hard for a sledge hammer,” Mr Hurst adds.
“The Maxi will drive old T irons, flat standards and 50x50 square pointed wooden battens. The design allows steel posts to be easily thumped to full length for tie backs and tie downs, saving valuable hours, plus does not damage the tops of posts.” For sales, service and enquiries contact NZF Products on 027 469 4301, sales@ nzfproducts.co.nz or www.nzfproducts.co.nz.
