which is why I sometimes cheat and use 5ft posts if I can get away with it! LOL I make hubby or FIL drive the 6-footers. The trick is not to raise the driver over the top of the post - like someone else said you can watch for the stripe at the top of the post to know when to quit lifting. I think FIL just draggs the driver up the side of the Tpost so he can hear/feel it.
I'm not 8ft tall either, nor do I have a tractor to make a post hole, so for my ground rods for my electric fence I sawed that 8-foot ground rod in half and made 2 4-footers that I could drive same as T posts. Lucky me we live where the water is about 4ft down so you can get a decent ground with a short rod even in dry weather.
I have NOT hit myself while driving T posts. However, dropping that thing on your foot afterwards is not recommended.
