Post pounder, all barns around here have a few. We used to pound all grape posts by hand when we were young. Tractor and wagon with two guys on the wagon one on each side. Every post got at least one tap as the tractor went slowly down the rows. The reason we did this is because the constant freeze thaw would push the posts up especially on wet ground. I usually used a 16 or 18 pounder. Swing those all day long for a few weeks every year. After the seventies we did everything with hydrolic pounders mounted on the tractor. That 13 pounder would be considered quite light. Made a man out of you quick

Almost looks like cast iron, but probably not.
Let me sugar coat this
