Good idea! I use a chain and hydraulics... but if there's no fuel? Chain works really well for pulling up metal t-posts. A bit more tricky with wood posts. I'll remember the clevis, that's a really good idea. Gonna swipe that one!

what happens to all or most of our old wooden fence posts is that they rot below the ground and break off right at the dirt and rock line. So there is always a stump of wood in the ground. The guys usually just put a t post next to it unless it's one of the corners LOL
These are the bomb for pulling T posts...

Well, WELL worth the money. I can't believe I did it the hard way for all those years before getting my hands on one of these things. One of way too many things I've done the hard way in the past, such as making poles out of pine saplings for poultry pens that rot out in a few years..

I use all pressure treated fence posts and they still rot off in about 7 years. I'm replacing my corner posts with rail road ties. They should out last me.Well, WELL worth the money.
