Man Saver Post Driver Eases Vineyard Trellis Installation
Prineville manufacturer, Rohrer Manufacturing, continues to deliver solutions for the agricultural and ranching industries through the invention of Man Saver Post Driver vineyard adapters, engineered to take the backbreaking labor out of installing vineyard trellis and fencing. The new custom made adapters are available for various configurations of line stakes. The compact design eases trellis and fence installation.
The wine industry is one of the fastest growing agricultural industries in the country and commercial and hobby vintners are lauding the tool for its ease of use. The Man Saver Post Driver’s home state, Oregon, boasts 905 vineyards.
“We used the Man Saver to install trellis in three blocks of Monkey Face Vineyard. The Man Saver saved us hundreds of hours, thousands of dollars and worked very well. I highly recommend it for vineyards,” says Kerry Damon, Vintner, Monkey Face Vineyard at Ranch at the Canyons of Terrebonne, Oregon.
The Man Saver Post Driver is an ultra-lightweight air powered portable post driver. “Usability is of paramount importance to our customers,” states Dan Rohrer, the 80-year old founder and master machinist at Rohrer Manufacturing. “To address these needs, custom vineyard adapters have been developed to provide flexibility in use with the only multi-directional pneumatic post driver designed to ease the rigors of the job.”
Rohrer Manufacturing, headquartered in Prineville, designs the Man Saver Post Driver the best fence post driver in the world. Rohrer Manufacturing leads the fence post supplies industry with its revolutionary design by having the only multi-directional pneumatic post driver on the market for ranch, farm, rangeland and vineyard fencing.
In 2013, Rohrer Manufacturing celebrated the 15-year anniversary of the Man Saver Post Driver and is still growing at 10-15 percent pace yearly. Innovation has been the backbone to its success.
Who is behind it all but 80-year-old genius machinist and military veteran Dan Rohrer of Rohrer Manufacturing. Rohrer’s innovation of the fence post driver concept in 1998 has led to thousands of units sold. Today’s refined version of the Man Saver Post Driver has become an asset tool for farmers, ranchers, vineyards, construction centers, highway and public works departments.
Even more astounding are the vitals of the Man Saver Post Driver:
• Ultra lightweight, weighing from 26-54 lbs (depending on the version) and extremely compact to allow for remote fence installation projects
• Only driver on the market that is air-powered for multidirectional use, portable, pneumatic; increasing efficiency by up to 50 percent
• The price of the driver has never increased
• All American-made
Rohrer says, “We are proud of our success and satisfaction of fulfilling an unmet demand for fence post drivers, most notably in the agricultural and ranching industry. Named Man Saver Post Driver for a reason, the driver was designed to take the back-breaking labor out of fencing.
“My three keys to success have always been to offer competitive pricing, having never increased prices of the drivers, employee fulfillment and listening to customers for enhancements and attachment additions.”
Rohrer first developed the Man Saver Post Driver in response to a fence builder who was complaining about his back and wishing for a wonder tool. In less than a month, the first Man Saver Post Driver was manufactured and on the market. Since then, he has developed a series of fence post drivers and expanded their capabilities with various adapters that allow them to drive almost any shaped post on the market up to 3.5” in diameter. These drivers are ideal for farm, ranch, rangeland, or vineyard fencing. They are also great tools for highway department fence post driving, ranchers, equipment rental companies and more.
