All you need is the chain with a hook and another post… a spud bar and chain work better but all you need is a lever to pull up on the post. If your setting posts and you don’t have a spud bar or iron digger… well then you probably aren’t doing it right anyway

An easyer method. Use the same pieces you have. Add a cinder block. Put the cinder block 6-12 inches from the post. Put the pole over the block, under the bolted on piece. Now stand on the long end of the pole. Use your weight instead of your back. "Give me a long enough lever, and a fulcrum to place it on, And I will move the world"

My grandfather taught me on the farm to use an old car wheel either with or without a tyre, wrap the chain as low down as you can, run the chain over the wheel and to a tow hitch and then you just gently drive forwards and pull it out, the cantilever effect pulls them out with ease! Great video!

Screw or nail a block of wood on the side and use a lever to get it moving. Add to the fulcrum height as needed

@Kcburnit Год назад

Even easier. Tie the end of chain to your toe hitch. Place a spare tire(on the rim and at least some pressure in it) up against the post. Run the chain over the top of the tire. Hop in the truck and drive slowly away. The post will pull right up and our as it rolls over the top of the tire. Work on small stumps too, just need to be able to get a good grip on it with the chain. Sometimes cutting a small notch in the stump to hold the chain is required.

@kamilegier4730 Год назад

Well this can work if you have a long pipe and come along, if you like to do things yourself and own the property then you need to realize you will need tools, otherwise hire someone to do it, in this case you need a farm jack which has a lot of uses around a property especially if it’s a rural property. I use my farm jack on many things even though I have a tractor. I pulled a 30 foot utility pole that was over 6 feet deep in the ground with a farm jack.

@gadgetbuster69 Год назад

You can use a 2×4. Screw the end of the 2x4 near the bottom of the post with 1 screw, use a block as a fulcrum and push down on the other end of the 2x4 and lever that sucker out.
