Abstract: A tractor mounted, hydraulically actuated, manually controlled, fence post setting and fence wire reeling apparatus including a post driving assembly having a vertically guided, reciprocal weight, a hydraulic motor for lifting the weight and a unique sprocket chain drive assembly interconnecting the motor and weight. The apparatus also includes a multiple fence wire reel assembly with each reel including a spool connected to a hydraulic power device which operates either in a motor mode or pump mode to enable fence wire to be reeled onto the spools or unreeled therefrom with a desired adjustable tension. The apparatus is mounted on a conventional three-point hitch of a farm tractor and the post setting assembly is mounted for lateral swinging movement in order to orient the post in desired alignment and to position the post setting assembly in an out-of-the-way position when the fence wire is being reeled.
