What’s the Process Behind the Product?

For over 45 years, Kinghitter has been world leaders in the design and manufacture of hydraulic post drivers. Ever since the first Kinghitter rolled off the production line in 1977, they have been recognised for their legendary reliability, usability and cutting-edge design, paving the way for generations of fencers.
Kinghitter is a brand of Farmgear Ltd, and is 100% New Zealand made. This brings a guarantee that you will receive a product that will last a lifetime while making fencing safer, faster, and easier than ever before. Kinghitter is distributed in Australia by Farmgear Australia Pty Ltd, and sold through authorised dealers. This assures all Kinghitter owners that they will have local service and service support throughout the life of their machine.
