Best video I've seen yet on this. Very clear. Thanks for showing it clearly from the beginning, including how you put the chain around the post. I have a post to remove that broke off. I'm left with about 18" of 4x4 left at the bottom of a 2 1/2 foot hole. I'll just need to use a longer chain. Thanks
We use 4x2 timbers a little longer than the jack at the front creating a tripod and it stops the jack tipping forward making it much safer to use.Bolt the 4x2's to the top of the jack using a long coach bolt or similar.
I built some tripod legs for my Hi Lift jack when it's to be used as a post puller. In Facebook, do a search on, "Russell Stephan Pimpin' out the Hi Lift Jack with Accessories Built/Purchased". And before I owned the Hi Lift, I used a standard floor jack and a scrap yard obtained steel I-beam to remove the concrete plugs of a privacy fence. This effort is also documented on FB. Search, "Russell Stephan Privacy Fence Removal". Amazing what one can accomplish with a little thinking along with a bit o' fabrication!
Here's a solution using nothing more than a scrap steel I-beam, floor jack, and some cribbing. Of course, one needs a welder to fabricate the foot on the I-beam. Search Facebook for, "Russell Stephan Privacy Fence Removal".

This video was a great. Bought one at Harbor Freight for 49 and got them all out this weekend. Thank you!
OUTSTANDING
Off to buy a high lift jack right now. Great tip with the chain rather than screwing a block to the post. Excellent video thank you

Thank you
A lot of trial and error

Thank you for your suggestion
I will try that next time!

I did both searches on Facebook and you didn’t show up
So satisfying to watch it nudge out!
I just watched several videos, you are the only one smart enough to place a board under the jack.
Thank you!
Wonder if u just dig around it a little to break the surface
Nicely done!!
Thank you
I also have a way of using a "bridge" when the concrete base is big, I will make a video when I come across the need to use it again
thank you
You are welcome!
All that land and space skid steer with a chain. Lol live in a subdivision farm jack.
I agree! (This made a more interesting video)
Thank you!
Thank you much!!
Try a Pressure Washer and wet and dry vac...... just a few hours, look into it
Wouldn't you need to empty it out every 5 minutes? Most shop vacs are pretty small
👍👍
Nice video
Thank you!
good
It does not work so well on 32” of concrete, unfortunately. I’m going to be digging a loooooong time.
