OK, guys, thanks. I did some reading of my own, it seems that people
recommend fabric slings over chains, so I will try slings first. One
way or another, we will get them to move.

Beware that regular rope stretches *a lot* when lifting stuff.
An aircraft cable or chain would've helped when I pulled
3 post footings out of the ground this week.

The first lift would just tension the rope. I always had to
shorten the rope to actually get the footings out of the
ground.
