- My name is Brandon Peska
with Kinzenbaw Earthmoving.
Been with the company
now for about 18 years.
We're here today in Erie, Illinois.
We're gonna install 182 posts
on a 300-kilowatt solar system.
The PD5R pile driver will be
the machine we're using today.
It virtually pounds just
as fast as our PD10 does
and we're not gonna lose any
efficiency at all with it,
it'll actually just be
as fast, if not faster.
This machine here I
can pull with my pickup
and small trailer and
doesn't take me any longer
to get here with my pickup
and trailer than it does
to just drive my pickup here really.
We work with a lot of
different contractors
from residential to a
commercial to a utility site.
This machine fits very
well with the residential,
for some of the very tight
situations we get into.
You can't fix what's existing,
trees, buildings, high lines.
When we set this machine
up this is the size it is.
I can drive it in laid down
like it is at this compact size,
And for me to set it up it's just the
touch of a couple fingers,
I don't have a crane
putting my mast on or guys handling it
when they shouldn't be.
The auto plumb feature is
one of my favorite features.
We get into some sites that
aren't graded as nice as others,
and with that auto plumb we set it once
and we run down the line
and it's always there
and it's quick and efficient.
We don't have to second guess
somebody running a level.
The reason we like the remote so well is
some of these posts that we install,
the tolerances are so tight on them,
and virtually being able
to be off the machine
and watch our posts being installed on the
pen where it needs to be exactly is huge.
We do the small sites with
this thing, four posts,
and then the next day
I can be out installing
800 with it, I'm not going
to lose any efficiency
with this machine, the
perfect fit for what we do.
