The first one we had didn't have the spring but had a 4 pound chunk of lead. That thing slammed them into the ground. I was sore as hell but the posts went in.

One person could do it. You just drop the posts where they’re supposed to go, then park the tractor and trailer in the middle of a 200-300 foot run; 150’ of air hose fits on a relatively small reel.What I'd like to see is the efficiency of use and time when driving posts every so many feet. If one is talking about a permanent pasture fence, I'd say that each post would have to be about 8 feet apart. For a temporary livestock fence that would be electrified, they would have to be further apart.
One would have to have one person to operate the tractor, pulling the trailer, and maybe another person to carry each post to the driver operator. Now, if one was pulling the trailer along the fence row and closer to the driver operator, then the 3rd person might not be needed, so long as the driver operator could pick up each post himself.
