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 !

I agree with JB as well. I use a bumper jack, the kind that fits in a slot in the bumper from early 70's Mopar or Ford. I wrap a chain around the post and hook the chain on the jack. Jack away! It works with metal T-posts and wood posts that have been milled or reasonably round. It won't pull out gnarley wood or cemented posts. Used it extensively over the past month rebuilding a horse ring. Experimented with the 3 pt on a Ford 3000, it just didn't work out. The bumper jack was easier and quicker.
