I could imagine the idea could be used to move quite a few heavy things. It would make a good stump puller if the tree wasn't too big, a rock mover, car parts, etc. Maybe they had a big one when the pyramids were built! I'm getting ready to paint my house. I'm sure I'll find a video with short-cuts after I'm done!

  • One thing to remember is never allow yourself to be positioned above the jack bar when operating the jack. I’ve seen these things kick and that bar comes up in a big hurry. I see HenryT mentioned the tension on the chain but you also need to remain clear of the upward sweep of the bar itself in all operation.

    • That's a general principle of physics. If you are cutting with a knife, same idea. Cut AWAY from your body/hands. Make sure the arc of your blade or axe swing is never going to angle toward your body even from a deflection if you miss. Many a leg was probably cut or bruised by swinging an axe or hammer downward, missing the target and the arc of the swing continues past and oops. Shin bone is NOT a happy camper.

  • My post were double the thickness and the concrete bases were far more substantail ( necessity4us due to high cross-winds ). Another issue I had is that as I had originally forgotten to bevel the concreate bases against the posts to allow rain/water to easily run off and not pool round the bases, which resulted in most of the posts being rotten part or all way througn at the base. This made using jacks very difficult/ineffective. So my strategy here was to grind/mill the wooden post remains out and leave the concrete bases in place and simply added new posts of the same size. It all turned out to be a nightmare of a job, that took forever, cost a wodge in cutting and milling bits, and left me with battered hands, arms and shoulders for weeks. The moral of the story is : Never forget to bevel/angle the concrete cement downwards away from the post base, so that water can run off and not sit and rot the posts in the first place. Wish I had watched this video before doing the job, as that would have saved me quite a bit of pain and time I would imagine.

I had my fence replaced that I built years ago myself without using any but the contractor concreted them this time. I don’t think I will be doing the next one though.

  • In Wyoming, We also call these “come-a-long” jacks or shepherd’s jacks. Besides using them for pulling fence posts, they are also used to stretch barbed wire, pulling a wagon or a pickup out of a ditch, pulling a deadfall tree or a boulder out of the road, and any place where a rancher needs to pull an oversized load while out alone on the ranch or in the wild. When I was a kid, my dad always had a come-a-long attached to his old blue Jeep when we went camping or fishing in the high country. Survival gear in 4WD country.

  • If you don’t have many to do a digger bar with a chisel end works really well, and if the post has rotted can be quicker and easier than digging round to place a chain. A digger bar is basically a long, heavy chunk of steel bar about 70” long that gives great leverage and concrete smashing power. One of my most useful garden tools for everything from extracting concrete to digging holes in stony ground for planting shrubs and trees.

  • A tip here for safety reasons. When just removing concrete it is very important that the chain is secured prior to lifting it with the jack. While under tension and if the chain slips, the kickback will have tremendous force and anyone unfortunate enough to be at the receiving end will have a lot of hurt.

  • I’m in the northern midwest where at about 10” you are out of black dirt and into clay. I’m having an awful time with this. Post is broken at top of cement in shreads. With this method i have dug down 4 or so inches, wrapped the chain but the cement breaks. Next dug 6” or more & the jack comes off the stand or just slides towards or into the hole (if i let it) Any thoughts? Thinking because of the clay in my area my only option is to dig around the cement and break bits off until it is all out.

    • Need to wet it. Also support the jack with angle iron or something similar

    • ⁠thanks, I’ve been doing exactly that. not just wetting, I’ve been filling/soaking the hole multiple times throughout the day. Have been using a 4x4 post to brace the top of jack.

    • Same issue here. I just gave up and started digging. Either the cement splits at the top or the chain slips loose. Maybe spring would be a better time to do this, but doing it in September is a no go, no matter how much water you use. The clay acts as a suction.

  • After Hurricane Ike, I had around 250 ft of cedar privacy fence blown down... Nearly all of the posts were snapped off at the level of the ground near the concrete... I used a pretty similar technique with my hi-lift jack to remove the remaining posts and concrete... Main difference is probably the way I attached the chain to the post -- I would loop it around the post a couple of times and then clip it back to the original lead of the chain so that when it was being pulled, it would tighten up on the post like a noose... I replaced it by welding a steel picket (aka "wrought iron style") fence... A lot less surface area for the wind to act upon, so it should survive the next hurricane... The clay soil we have around here is either rock hard during the dry spells or a gumbo that refuses to come off you shovel / post hole digger during the wet spells... Either way, it took a lot more than 3 minutes to do each post... Maybe 3 beers per post is more like it...

  • Another good way is to wrap the post with chain, have a solid tire and wheel assembly, stand the tire up like it would normally be on a truck, put the chain over the top of the tread, hook the chain to a truck or tractor. As you start the pull, the tire holds the load and pulls straight up. It also absorbs the weight and won’t tear up the ground.

    @dmills7375@dmills73759 ай бұрын

    • Just friction and tension. If chain is slipping you can loop it through around itself once or twice, but can get away without looping it at all sometimes.
