Quickfencer didn’t one once but they told me it was very unreliable. I don’t know how or why, I bought a petrol driven one and mounted it on the knocker

I wanted a hydraulic driven one to save running another engine, I can’t see any reason why one couldn’t be made, if the engine failed on this I’m sure an old hydraulic motor could be found to drive the belt.
What machine have you got?

I’m in the process of converting a Morooka mst300, got a new Protech post knocker to go on it.
Might go down the 12v compressor option, think quickfencer now do them to.
 
Or....

Can you not fit one of these in the engine compartment driven via belt?



Or fit an air conditioning compressor to the engine for onboard air.

Cheap to do.

how much are you willing to pay?
common fitment on excavators is hydraulically driven hydrovane compressors - to fit air brake systems etc

How did you get on with this @trev7530 ? Got any piccys, considering doin sommat similar myself.
Ended up putting a hydraulic driven compressor on it, it’s working but a bit slow, need to change one of the pulleys to speed it up a bit.
Haven’t really used it as I’ve got problems with the post driver, hopefully be sorted soon. I can post some pictures tomorrow if you like?

No hurry, i sort of mean't the whole setup rather than just the compressor, be interesting to know if you'd do anything differently, and how it turned out etc.

Have a compressor on my Landy - factory specified to give air brakes but never used by me and fuse now pulled. Really should remove it, but never gets high up my list. It does show that a decent supply can be achieved by electrical power.
