Default conduit puller




Consider making a loop of rope or webbing. Tie a prussic knot around
the tubing. Pull with a Farm jack or a long ram hydraulic jack. Tying
a Prussic knot will take less time than bolting some blocks
together. I pulled about 4 feet of 1/2 inch rebar out of the ground
using this method.

Use Google to see what a Prussic knot is.



Now, there's a GOOD idea. I didn't know of this knot. I'll try this first.
I'll be bummed if it don't work, cause the unit is 40 miles away. Here's a u
tube of it:
