Yeah, this is what I used for a long time too, until one day 
I found an even better way.  Now I hold the post and hubby
just pushes it down in the groud using the front-end loader
bucket of the new tractor I bought him. :-)  Of course,
$25,000 for JUST a post driver would be kind of
expensive, so he does have to use it for other things
too, like mowing, hauling manure, dragging logs.....
