FENCE POST PULLER
Posted: Wed May 05, 2004 7:40 am
I am fabricating a post puller for my loboy. It will work off the fast hitch with hydraulics. I tried wrapping chain around the post and the hitch but it won't generate enough power to yank em up directly 1:1 .
So, I'm working on a gizmo that will pivot on a base behind the post on the ground; pinch the post with a cam type deal against a stop and gain leverage from some length to the lift point. I am reasonably certain this will work. My question is: has anyone done this bofore? Or, any ideas on ratio? I have 60 + posts to pull and I cannot let my 19 year old brain get my 45 year old body(back) in trouble on this one !
