Innovative Agricultural Machinery Solutions
Chalke Valley Engineering Group was founded in 1998 with a vision to revolutionise post-driving technology through safer, more versatile machinery. Our flagship Postpuncher product range was developed to address safety concerns with traditional post drivers, incorporating enclosed weights and universal mounting options for tractors, excavators, and telehandlers. Over two decades, we've expanded our offerings to include Fastfencer attachments, Scrag ground preparation tools, and bespoke fabrication solutions tailored to agricultural, fencing, and landscaping industries. Our engineering expertise extends to security devices like Dig-a-Lock and Lock-a-Quad, designed to protect valuable machinery. With operations spanning the UK and international markets including Australia, we combine British manufacturing excellence with global adaptability.Our technical team, led by inventor Kevin Meade and Commercial Director Nick Meade, maintains patents on core technologies while delivering custom metalwork solutions using precision laser cutting and powder coating. We prioritise innovation through continuous product development, evidenced by our recent Postdriver range for compact tractors. Our workshops in Dorset and Cornwall support both standard production and one-off commissions, including Olympic-standard trailers and estate gates. This commitment to quality has earned us a reputation for durable, high-performance equipment backed by comprehensive customer support.

Postpuncher Range
Our Postpuncher range offers enclosed steel driving weights for safe operation across various machinery types. Designed for angles above 45 degrees, these units fit all tractor front-end loaders, skidsteers, and excavators. Available in three models (PP2, PP2L, PP3) with varying weights (105-200kg) and tube lengths (2000-3000mm), they deliver consistent performance through controlled drop mechanics.
Fastfencer Attachments
Hydraulically operated wire clamping systems for efficient fencing operations. Compatible with tractors, excavators, and skidsteers, these attachments handle multiple netting types including stock wire, horse fencing, and deer fencing. Custom configurations available for 1-3 roll capacities with bidirectional operation.
Bespoke Fabrication
Precision-engineered metal solutions using CAD-designed laser cutting and powder coating. Capable of producing gates, railings, signage, and decorative ironwork to exact specifications. Specialising in estate gates, Olympic trailers, and security structures with weld finishes meeting exacting quality standards.
Agricultural Machinery
Specialist machinery including Scrag ground preparation tools with adjustable widths (1500-2000mm) and reinforced tines. Postdrivers for compact tractors with enclosed weights and tilt options. Designed for durability in demanding agricultural environments with custom modifications available.
Security Devices
Theft deterrent systems including Dig-a-Lock for excavators, Lock-a-Quad for riders, and Lock-a-Mower solutions. Steel-based security with ground stake options provides physical immobilisation of machinery while maintaining operational accessibility.
