A farm jack will pull any post out with minimal effort. They cost $80 it's weird everyone in the comments thinks pulling a concreted post is difficult. Chinese farm jack and a chain will pull a heavy concreted post out of the ground while you drink a beer with your free hand.
Try that with a wooden post that had been cemented in. A securely placed post would have 2 bags of concrete around it. I use 4 ton come alongs and sometimes bend the handles
We've been talking about that--it's actually on the schedule to shoot this week. So many people have never heard of driven posts and think we're trying to pull a fast one on them...
You might be able to create a bridge with 2x4’s with feet on the side to straddle the area wide enough so the concrete doesn’t hit the levers base. That would mean the chain would be higher up as well. Although the weight and width of concrete might prove to be too much resistance. Here’s an example ruclips.net/video/Z7RFORJw4lk/видео.html
You can speed up pulling t posts by 50% by not wrapping. Just hook the post below a bump with the chain hook at 90’. A little tension will hold it until you pull
I like the concept. Not gonna work at all with a fat concrete ball attached to the post just under the dirt, which is 99% of posts I pull. Would work fantastic for ranches though.
I was thinking the same thing as the base will be on top of the concrete. Maybe they need to make a different one that has two legs touching the ground about 16” apart
my farm jack and a short chain with end hooks does about the same job. If I lift high. I can put the base just outside of the concrete skirt and still jack a post out of the ground.
How do you prevent the top of the hi-jack from pulling forward? You must have only a few feet of concrete. A hi-jack doesn't work on four feet of concrete.
Funny you should ask that. Postmasters can stick in the ground pretty good as we've discovered. It probably won't work for you. ruclips.net/video/ISxDntwIXvY/видео.html
A homeowner's posts? Probably pull it right out. A contractor's posts? (more concrete) Probably won't cut it. We were just talking yesterday about making a follow-up video to this using concreted posts.
You're right nothing is in cement--these are all driven posts. You're wrong that these will come out with a little rocking. Once these things are in they're tough to get out--we usually grab our forklift to get them out.
T post only have those 2 little wings to bite into the ground, but man do they grab sometimes. They take probably 1000 pounds of pulling force or more to remove.
Almost as easy as a chain hooked over a planter wheel and tugged on with a tractor. And, a darn sight easier to find than all old steel planter wheel… BTW, mine ain’t for sale!!!!
If the handle on your post puller were fabricated on a 45 degree angle then you could reduce the number of strokes required to pull the post out of the soil and you wouldn't have to bend over as far. When you pulled the wood post you were almost laying down on the ground.
Little cement yes. Lot of cement no. If you're pulling up a DIY job you're probably fine. If you're pulling up a fence contractor's work it's probably not going to happen.
We get these straight from the manufacturer in New Zealand. Right now we've got a container full of tools just waiting to get on a ship and come this way. Apparently international shipping can move slowly at times. And you're right! We totally need to test these on concreted posts. 👍🏻👍🏻
These are driven posts--there is no concrete. If you're not familiar with driving posts--yes, it's absolutely a thing, and a driven post done right is solidly in the ground. ruclips.net/video/15zL8bOXU1E/видео.html
Correct on no concrete. Wrong on hardly a foot in the ground. Driven posts (without concrete) apparently take a lot of people by surprise, but is a legit method of fencing that's very common up north (a lot less common down south). It's faster, and in many cases stronger than using concrete. We've even done tests to show the difference. Vinyl Fence Wind Test in Concrete: ruclips.net/video/_iQnheVwAI4/видео.html Vinyl Fence Wind Test - Steel Posts No Concrete: ruclips.net/video/8jWcT17PFME/видео.html (There are more tests on the channel if you care to search them out.)
Wind test with concrete: ruclips.net/video/_iQnheVwAI4/видео.html Wind test without concrete: ruclips.net/video/8jWcT17PFME/видео.html You don't need concrete.
Trying this on some cemented posts is a great idea--we've got it on the list. 👍🏻 Your confusion is understandable, but (a) it's not a 4x4, it's a round agricultural fence post, and (b) these types of posts can definitely be driven, as you see here: ruclips.net/video/EVeu8Q8onwY/видео.html
Driven posts without concrete is actually pretty common, especially up north. This sytem will work fine on most home-owner DIY concrete jobs. Not so much on professionally-done concrete jobs: ruclips.net/video/VuYG5iOQato/видео.html
Something tells me you've never seen a pounded post before. 🤔 It's a legit method of fencing--not everyone uses concrete. Having said that, this method isn't going to pull out contractor-grade concrete-set posts. It will, however, mostly likely handle DIY and homeowner concrete-set just fine. We'll see if we can get a demo together to show you. 👍🏻
Waste of money. All you need is a burke bar and a pivot point. Or even a hi lift jack that has many more functions that this. Also, this things costs over 300 dollars. LOL
You're absolutely right there is no cement! This is what is called a driven post--it's a very popular method in England, New Zealand, and Australia, and we're trying to make it popular here too. It's absolutely a legitimate way to build fence. We'll have to try one on concrete and report back. I wouldn't recommend it until we test it. It would probably work on a homeowner-set job, but I don't know that it would pull a contractor-grade concreted post.

Won't work on concreted..posts.
@@manonfire3642 nope. Need a farm jack.
Try it with cemented post.
No thanks. 😉 It's not intended for that.
Its not intended for that. Its only intended for post that are driven into the ground...oh and it costs more then 300 dollars hahahahaha
What it doesnt work with cement?? Its useless then i wanted to buy it ill just keep using my modified dolly then

You have a Good Dang Day too. Thanks for sharing.
would love to see it with some concrete around that wood post as well
We've been asked about this a lot so we just did another test: ruclips.net/video/VuYG5iOQato/видео.html
i better start thinking of getting one because right now i have a chain link fence but wife wants to put up a vinyl fence panel ones next year.
Save post and sleeve over the top my dude
Most residential chain link fences are built with posts too light to support a 6’ tall wind sail.
Holy cow, they are proud of that thing...
You have clearly not seen the channel before.
It's amazing how strong that chain is, it shows no sign of breaking.
You can speed up pulling t posts by 50% by not wrapping. Just hook the post below a bump with the chain hook at 90’. A little tension will hold it until you pull
My clotheslines are cemented in the ground
but most of the fence posts are rotten or tee posts and this would be sweet
I like the concept.

Would work fantastic for ranches though.
Truth.
I was thinking the same thing as the base will be on top of the concrete. Maybe they need to make a different one that has two legs touching the ground about 16” apart
I wonder if you could use a jack and do the same thing somehow
There's probably a way.
@@SWiFence Just found another video someone using a farmer's jack,
I need one for my anchor. Sometimes, it gets hung up in the mud when I am bassing.
Must be pretty hung up! 😂
Could you not get a similar result from a hi lift jack
Will this tool work if the post's hole is filled with concrete?
A DIY job? Quite possibly. A contractor job--probably not.
How far away do I need to build a new fence from an old fence to be able to pull up the old fence posts without damaging the new fence.
Typically people would remove the old fence first. Safer that way.
my farm jack and a short chain with end hooks does about the same job. If I lift high. I can put the base just outside of the concrete skirt and still jack a post out of the ground.
Nice! 👍🏻
How do you prevent the top of the hi-jack from pulling forward? You must have only a few feet of concrete. A hi-jack doesn't work on four feet of concrete.
In the uk we use a lot of concrete posts 9ft high with 2ft of concrete mix in the ground . Dont think it'll be much use here.
I'd have to agree with you. 😏
I need one of those right now. Where can I buy one?
bit.ly/postlifter
how do you reuses the hole? do you have to clean it up or use one of those things?
Would this work for a post master metal post?
Funny you should ask that. Postmasters can stick in the ground pretty good as we've discovered. It probably won't work for you. ruclips.net/video/ISxDntwIXvY/видео.html
What is the name of the tool called.

Where do you buy one or is it home made
The link is in the video description but I'll add it here too. bit.ly/postlifter
how does it do on wood posts that have been concreted in ?
A homeowner's posts? Probably pull it right out. A contractor's posts? (more concrete) Probably won't cut it. We were just talking yesterday about making a follow-up video to this using concreted posts.
@@SWiFence that would be awesome to see it in action on a homeowners post and a contractors post. Thanks Ill be watching for that.

Strainrite Post Puller bit.ly/postlifter
Now you need to try pulling out posts in cement.
We've been talking about that actually--hoping to make a video soon. 👍🏻

Where do you get one?
bit.ly/postlifter
That looks like a Handy Dang Tool
We think so!
it looks easy but nothing is encased in cement. Im sure just by rocking these things back and forth it would come out also
You're right nothing is in cement--these are all driven posts. You're wrong that these will come out with a little rocking. Once these things are in they're tough to get out--we usually grab our forklift to get them out.
T post only have those 2 little wings to bite into the ground, but man do they grab sometimes. They take probably 1000 pounds of pulling force or more to remove.
Galvanized posts allow the chain to slip. That’s what is most common
Hmmm, haven't run across that issue.
How do I buy one?
Links are always in the description. 👍🏻 bit.ly/postlifter
Almost as easy as a chain hooked over a planter wheel and tugged on with a tractor. And, a darn sight easier to find than all old steel planter wheel… BTW, mine ain’t for sale!!!!
Ground is quite soft..............how about trying it out with cemented posts?........the pipe will most likely bend.
No... not particularly soft. We tried it with concreted posts here: ruclips.net/video/VuYG5iOQato/видео.html
If the handle on your post puller were fabricated on a 45 degree angle then you could reduce the number of strokes required to pull the post out of the soil and you wouldn't have to bend over as far. When you pulled the wood post you were almost laying down on the ground.
Well... 🤔 you'd either reduce the # of strokes or not bend over as far, but not both. You'd sacrifice leverage though.
What about cemented post?
Little cement yes. Lot of cement no. If you're pulling up a DIY job you're probably fine. If you're pulling up a fence contractor's work it's probably not going to happen.
We did the concrete test. ruclips.net/video/VuYG5iOQato/видео.html
Thanks!
As long as it doesn't have concrete aroud it
For sure. 👍🏻 You could likely also pull up a DIY concrete job, but not a contractor concrete job.
When are these available? Shows out of stock. You could absolutely pull a post in concrete with this. You definitely need to do a video on it!
We get these straight from the manufacturer in New Zealand. Right now we've got a container full of tools just waiting to get on a ship and come this way. Apparently international shipping can move slowly at times.

Correct - these are driven posts. Here's the cement version of the test: ruclips.net/video/VuYG5iOQato/видео.html
It wouldn’t be that easy in Texas…
Oh I wouldn't be too sure. 😉
Except most posts are in a half-bag of instant concrete. You're pulling out 20lbs of solid concrete under 1-4 ft of earth.
You're right--this is demonstrated on a driven post which is more common up north.
Lol. Where is the cement.

Well, that's how leverage works... It would be a challenge for cramped situations.
Farm jack works much nicer, and my wife can do it.
